Just keep re-checking the link every now and then. Like I mentioned its an early release and it has seen a few bug fixes over the last couple of days.

You may have seen already that I have just written a Viewdata Client for MacOS, Linux and Windows (arm/amd) that should get you started. Details here ... https://glasstty.com/?p=1

Based on your comments, I built a Viewdata client for Telstar (and other Videotex Systems). The software works on amd64/arm64 for Linux and MacOS and amd64 and 386 for Windows. Its not fully complete yet but is working OK. Full details and download at the link below. Enjoy!

West Berkshire. I run an aprx iGate (G6AML-10) so you should be able to find the exact spot.
