. Does anyone know where I can get a good VT100-emulating terminal program for an IBM PC? It should allow uploading & downloading of files to/from MS-DOS. Thanks in advance.

#R:uw-june:-102800:whuxle:22700018:000:148 whuxle!jph Feb 25 07:12:00 1984 I don't have a VT100 emulator, but I have one that emulates an HP-2621 like terminal and can upload/down. If interested, send me mail. Jim Holtman

I've been using CROSSTALK XVI from Microstuff for quite
some time and have found it to be very easy to use. It
is especially easy to down/upload MS-DOS data files, or
any files for that matter. A couple of things should be
said about this package:
1) The documentation is fairly complete and
compliments the software, which is also
very complete (in its functionality).
2) The user interface is very good.
3) Data transferring is particularly easy. The
programs allows a number of various timing
parameters to be changed.
4) The program provides its own script (EXEC)
language.
5) The program has a DEC VT-100 emulation mode
that emulates ALMOST 100%. I've caught a few
cases where it missed some specialized graphics
character sequences and will be preparing a
bug-report for Microstuff.
6) It does NOT support the XMODEM protocol.
I home this was of help to you.

I agree with <1756@rlgvax.UUCP>'s comments about Crosstalk-XVI.
We've been using Crosstalk on our IBM PCs to talk to the local
network, including our VAX running 4.1bsd. The VT-100 emulation
works well with vi at 9600 baud.
The latest version of Crosstalk-XVI (version 3.4), however,
does include XMODEM support, which comes in handy when used
with the "uc" XMODEM program for UN*X, which appeared a while
ago in net.sources. Microstuf will send you the upgrade and
a new manual for $20 (I think that's the price; better call
their customer service people for the details).

There is a company called PERSOFT INC. which has some
software called SmarTerm 100 which is a VT100 series
Terminal Emulator with ASCII and Binary File Transfer.

#R:uw-june:-102800:uiuccsb:5100009:000:57 uiuccsb!free Mar 30 10:43:00 1984 Crosstalk will emulate a VT-100 (as well as a IBM3101).

For a very good VT-100 terminal emulator, try PC/InterComm<tm> from
Mark of the Unicorn<R> in Cambridge Mass (They're the MINCE, Scribble,
and FinalWord folks.) The program goes for about $100.00 retail and
will support your printer, upload and download (dumb or XMODEM), and
run at 9600bps if your connection will allow it. It's head and shoulders
above VTerm (cost less, more features, better documentation, and not
copy protected, to name a few) ***Aside - I do not condone software
piracy. All of our copies of PC/Intercomm for which I am responsible at
Duke are purchased.*** It supports the VT-100 protocol up to the hardware
restraints of the IBM-PC (e.g. no smooth scroll or 132 col, etc.) in every
application that I have used (EDT, VI, and GEMISCH - trademarks all).
Other packages that claim Vt-100 compatibility, that I haven't used,
are CrossTalk and the Persoft offerings. If you need VT-125 capcbility,
Persoft may be the only game in town.

Lately there's been articles with munged headers showing up.
The article, to which this is a followup, is an example.
Here's the header we received:

I.e. no Posting-Version, thus readnews won't accept it. After
adding that line I was able to post this followup.
But it is a bit heavy if one has to check all the article numbers
for possible holes, then check the corresponding spool directory
and in case it wasn't a true hole after all fix the header in order
to be able to read the article. Of course by that time your .newsrc
file says that you've already read it ...
It shouldn't bee too difficult to track this down.

Huh? Posting-Version is only added by 2.10 or later sites. There are plenty out there that don't add it. This doesn't bother any of the other sites out there - what weird readnews are you running? And why are you voicing this in net.micro.pc? net.news would be the correct place.
