[net.micro.cbm] C64 term emulator offer

randy@ranhome.UUCP (Randys Account) (10/10/85)

I have a terminal emulator program for the C64 which I will send anyone for
free.  It will almost emulate a VT52, but not quite.  It comes with its own
termcap entry, which will allow it to work with visual type software.  It has
an 80 col mode, which generates 80 cols in software.  It works quite well with
UNIX type systems.

To get a copy, just mail me a disk, in a mailer, with return postage and a
return address label to the address below.

I have two VT52 emulator programs which I have obtained from people via
the net.  The one I'm currently using does a good job with vi.  But neither
emulator allows easy uploading and downloading of files or permits hardcopy
drafts from my 1525 printer (I said drafts!).  Does this one allow such
niceties [sp?], or does anyone else have one that will?

Commodore 64 Kermit allows easy uploading and downloading of files to any
computer that supports Kermit.  It also has a software 80 col. screen.
It fully supports VT52 emulation,  I have never had any problem
with terminal emulation.  It does not, however support printing.  I am not
sure where you can get Kermit.
