I am looking for a good graphics terminal emulator, preferably of one
of the Tektronix terminals, that will run on my IBM-PC. I desperately
need this in order to use the S statistical package.
Thank You,

[CompuView Tektronix Terminal Emulator for IBM PC] CompuView (makers of VEDIT) are selling a Tektronix emulator for the IBM PC, Zenith Z100 and various other clones. The current version is fairly straight forward. Just a basic Tektronix 4010 emulator. On the Z100 it supports interlace mode for twice the vertical resolution. The soon-to-be available version will support numerous additional features. Letters placed arbitrarily (most emulators place them only in the normal character grid), ability to store pictures locally, etc. Looks like a good product to me. I don't remember the price. I think it was like $60. Don't know about the date of availability of the new version, though I've seen it run. In no way connected with CompuView, Jan Wolter

I have looked at a package called 'PC-PLOT-III' from Micro Plot Systems.
It is described as a Tektronix model 4010 Graphics Terminal Emulation
Program for the IBM Personal Computer. It will also emulate a VT-100 terminal.
I used this package to display graphics generated on two mainframes:
An IBM, running SAS, and a Plot 10 application run on a Cyber.
This package is compatable with IBM or Plantronics Color + boards, or a
Hercules graphics board. It also comes with device drivers for Okidata
and Epson printers.
The package allows the user to download the picture image to file on the PC.
Then, a utility which comes as part of the package is used to DRAW the file.
In addition the upload/download facility allows transfer of ASCII text files.
The setup procedure for the package is clumsy, but can easily be worked around.
An On-Line help facility is available.
A small subset of the Tektronix model 4027 terminal commands is included
to select colors when the screen is in a mode that will display colors.
In addition, a plotting utility for the HP 7470A is included.
This is a nice package, and is available from:
