To: info-mac@sumex-aim.arpa I wonder if anyone has heard of anyone coming up with a terminal emulator that will do Tektronix 4010 Emulation. Would it be possible to develop this on a mac in one of the current languages available? Thanks, Dan Jones

(home of MacFORTH) claims to be working on a Graphics Terminal Emulator ("capable of Tektronics 4010 emulation and other popular graphics terminals"). Targeted availability is "2nd quarter 1984". MacFORTH was shipped only 1 month late, so maybe we'll see this by July.

Since I have a Mac, I gave the the people a call and asked if they were doing anything for the Mac. The answer was a definite YES, and they are hoping to ship product around July 1. The person I talked with said the emulation was pretty complete, multiple character sizes e.g., though he mentioned that dotted lines were too expensive to do at high speeds and were't implemented. The price wasn't set, but expect $200-$300. For more info contact: Mesa Graphics POB 506 Los Alamos, NM 87544 (505) 672-1998 Lonnie R. Abelbeck AT&T Bell Laboratories mhuxi!aluxe!lra
