[net.micro.pc] a terminal emulator

	As a part of a reaserch project I started here at MIT two years
ago, I wrote a H-19 terminal emulator for the IBM PC.  This emulator
does a fairly complete emulation of the non-ansi escape sequences and
enough of the ansi stuff so that it would work with EMACS on TOPS-20s
(the only thing we ever found that used ansi).  It runs fine at 9600
baud using the "COM package" recently announced on the mailing list (the
original not the one modified to assemble on the PCs).  It is just a
terminal, no file transfer, but if that is all that is needed, it works
fairly well.  One problem we have noticed is that it tends not to work
with "IBM compatible" displays.  If this would be interesting or useful
it is available to be put in the library.  Sources are also avaiable but
are probably not useful because the assembly code is for the cross
assembler we use and is not compatible with the IBM assembler.

this with the Kermit effort at Columbia -ed]
