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

Creative Solutions Inc. (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.  For more info, contact:

In the "What's New?" section of the May BYTE I noticed a description
of a Tektronix 4014 emulator for the Lisa.  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:
