Pardon me for posting this reply... but I couldn't get mail through. I personally don't hink there would be much of a call for a vt100 emulator for the '64... but maybe for the b128 if it ever comes out. ALL current commodore computers have a 40 column screen format... which is awkward when talking to nearly all professional services. Yes, over two million '64s are out there... but I think few of these are owned by computing professionals, and even fewer use their '64s professionally. There is a program on the market which does do a VT52 emulation with the '64. The program is called VIP TERM. It includes software driven 64, 80, and 102 column screen routines. The 80 column is useable, but would be painfull to work with for long periods. Check this program out before you commit to writing one; if you can beat it for less money ($50) you might have a chance. Don't forget, the '64 sells for less than $200... expensive software is difficult to sell. Ron Wanttaja (ssc-vax!wanttaja)
