Protecto offers:

A. 80 column cartridge (rom) for C64

B. 80 column software for C64

I know there has been some discussion re: these. Would someone be kind enough
to recap.

Also, new opinions and current experiences.

How is quality of  each?
Will either eliminate sparkle?
Can either be used with CPM cart.
Can either be used with UNIXTERM1.0.
Can either be used with Smartterm.

Can each be used with existing programs.

Can each be used with UNIX & get UNIX characters like (i.e. UNIXTERM)?

They also offer 40-80 (Does that mean 80?) for VIC20 that has self contained terminal program (?) so no disk or tape required.
Is that true? ON back Cover!
Does that mean if you buy a VIC ($70) , a VICMODEM and this CART ($50)
you have an 80 col. terminal. What kind? UNIX characters?
