A little while ago, I posted the request below for a graphics terminal emulator. What follows is a summary of received responses. I have tried PC Plot-III, and it appear to meet my needs so far. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond!! Howard Lang ...ihnp4!hou2e!zappo * * * >> I'm looking for a graphics terminal emulator package >> for use on an AT&T PC6300.
