Hi Jim, Would it be possible to add the version number to the download box on geoff's site?
Secondly, running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnimon, MMCC likes to take over complete control both during upload and if anything is happening in the monitor window ( won't even just stay in it's own workspace)? Could this be a focus issue in my config? Regards, Doug.

Sorry. Geoff has kindly supplied the space on his website and one requirement is that I am restricted to the one file which retains the same name.
It sounds like MMCC is using too much CPU. This probably means that you are sending data at a high rate. Try this test program
' n = 1 DO PRINT "fred",STR$(n) PAUSE 100 INC n LOOP
While running 'top' or similar, change the PAUSE to a smaller value and watch the CPU utilisation. On my old Linux box, I can run other programs without any obvious issues with MMCC using 50%+ CPU
MMCC is not good at handling high data rates.
If you regularly send high volumes of data, perhaps a better terminal program is needed.
