[comp.sys.apple] Graphic Terminal Emulators

NU133716@VM1.NODAK.EDU (Brian Glaeske) (11/30/88)

Does anyone know of a graphics terminal emulator for the //c?
I am looking for one that emulates a Tekronics 3270 or one
that handless gddm.

Thanks.

I'm somewhat behind in versions of Apple Kermit, but the PC version does
a Tektronics 4010 emulation.  Does Apple Kermit do anthing like this?

I agree that Apple Kermit is a pretty good deal, but the MS-DOS Kermit that
does the Tektronics 4010 emulation ALSO is public domain.

Are there any hardware limitations that might inhibit developing such an
emulation for the Apple 2?  If anyone has source code for a Tektronics
emulation, send it to medin-t@shark.nosc.MIL and Atlee@UMDC.bitnet

Maybe if ProTerm would add a graphics terminal emulation it would have a
competitive edge (for mainframe communications) over the public domain
Kermits?

I have an Applesoft program that will read a Tektronix 4010 plot file and draw
it in the Hi-Res picture space.  But it has two problems.  It is very slow 
being in BASIC and all AND it draws in Hi-Res Space instead of Double Hi-Res, 
thus making the line widths unsightly.  I am not proficient in writing code on
the 65C02 level but would like to see it done to enable a faster and higher
quality plot to be produced.  Anyone want to fool with this?
