Does anyone out there know of a good VT100 emulator? I am looking for something that is low cost or free. All I want is use of all keys, function keys, cursor, keypad. I have seen some that offer keypad keys but not function keys. I think there must be one some were that sends all the codes that an actual VT100 would. I don't need upload & download capabilities. I have other communication software that I can use for that. I am looking only for true keyboard emulation. Haveing it all in one package would be nice but I'm not that picky. I have tried a few "test drive" versions of programs and used Qmodem for a little while before giving up on them. I thought they were too bulky (over a meg for qmodem and files on my hard disk) for no more than what they did. If you know of a good program and where I could get a copy please let me know. Or if you know how I could get qmodem to work with true keyboard emulation too. -Noble noble@shumv1.ncsu.edu

You can get any of them by anonymous ftp from your site. If you also want a ready MsKermit VT100 keyboard, get /pc/ts/tskerm20.arc as well. If you want Procomm information and layouts then get /pc/ts/tspfon29.arc. (If you are not familiar with anynymous ftp, that is the File Transfer Program, please consult your system manager.) ...................................................................

It emulates 99% of the functions of the VT10x series terminals. Works great talking to VMS or UNIX hosts. You can get a copy from my BBS at 619-549-3927 which will answer with a USR 9600 HST at 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud. You can call and download PC-VT v9.0d with your first login. -- Mark C.

I have not used MsKermit, but Procomm and Telix are only partial emulations. Ideal Terminal from Don Harbaugh, 771 Blanchard Way, Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (408) 737-9130 is a shareware product offering built in Xmodem, scrollback, and a buncha other stuff, and it is a >full< implementation of the VT100 and VT52 terminals. I am quite please with it - we are using it now as a local terminal to our Xenix machine. For your $20 you also get Turbo C source, so you can customize it still further, if that is your desire. -- "I don't run - I tend to black my eyes." - D.Parton | hombre!marob!upaya!tbetz ----------------------------------------------------| tbetz@dasys1.UUCP "One minute I'm in the pasture porkin' ponies, | Tom Betz - GBS the next I'm a can of Mighty Dog!" - Secretariat | (914) 375-1510
