HyperTerminal Private Edition A Freeware Upgrade Forrest Stroud
A Freeware Upgrade
The Private Edition also offers numerous bug fixes and general feature enhancements over the standard HyperTerminal client. Best of all, Hilgraeve has released the Private Edition as freeware in the hopes that power users will later want to upgrade to the commercial HyperACCESS client after using HTPE. HTPE's freeware status makes it a must-have update for any Windows 95/98/NT user that regularly works with the standard HyperTerminal client.
Still, HTPE does lack some of the more powerful features that are standard in its commercial sibling as well as in most standalone terminal emulation clients. The Private Edition also suffers from the absence of an integrated and easily customizable phonebook.
