Does anybody have the documentation for the vt100/tek 4010 emulator VLT? It was distributed without doc's and said something about finding them on some network. I can't remember exactly what it said. I like this program a lot and would like to know how to use some of its special features. BTW, is 3.656 the latest version? While I'm asking about terminal prog's, what do you all think is the best comm program?(vt100, ANSI, or whatever) And finally (boy I'm just full of questions today) how do I find out how to use AREXX? I hardly even know what it is, but I noticed that VLT has an AREXX Macro menu item. Well, guess that does it. Chris Vaughn

In conclusion i would like to find out if author meant for this to be a tek4105 or is has some bugs or maybe i dont have AREXX.

VLT is a 4014 emulator that supports some of the 4105 color sequences and that's about it. It does not support a separate dialog area which almost all 4105 applications make some use of, that's why things can get pretty wierd. I've also found that selective erasure doesn't work so well so more than one thing overlaps on the screen at a time. However, V4.428 just showed up on Compuserve, I haven't gotten it to see what improvements have been made. It works with AREXX but the rexxarplib is required and another library (help me out here guys and gals) also helps. Marco says he has a full 4105 emulator that just needs financial backing.... -- Tim Costello Du Pont Medical Products ...!uunet!eplrx7!costello -- The UUCP Mailer

The docs say that the full VLT 4.428 now supports almost complete 4105 emulation, with some 4107 extensions. Needless to say, I'm dying to have it. Ross Martin
