I am looking for a VT100 program that supports smooth scrolling (you know, one pixel vertically at a time, just like the real thing.) I really like VLT because it lets me use my own custom font, but smooth scrolling would A) make reading news a LOT easier on my eyes, and B) make for a nice effect in a science fiction TV program I am co- producing here at KBVR. So, do any such programs exist, and is the author of VLT listening? I just can't bear to part with that program, but I need smooth scrolling.

I'm not sure, but check out meshugena. It's an excellent VT220 emulator (with a VT100 mode) with UW support as well. I posted it to comp.binaries.amiga awhile back, and it finally appeared recently. I don't recall if it supports smooth scrolling, but it may. The documentation makes mo mention of it, yet it does mention "jump scroll" at one point. (apparently as a mode select) So, it may be worth looking into. robert> I really like VLT because it lets me use my own custom font, robert> but smooth scrolling would A) make reading news a LOT easier robert> on my eyes, and B) make for a nice effect in a science fiction robert> TV program I am co-producing here at KBVR.

It DOES have scrollbars, however. (scrollback buffer chows memory, though.) Myself, I prefer DNet... Until I write something better. :-) Deven -- Deven T.

Robert, There is a VERY nice program called Handshake for folks that need TRUE VT100 emulation. And guess what... it does smooth scrolling!! - Doug - Doug_B_Erdely@Cup.Portal.Com

Well, I don't use VLT, but I know that Handshake V2.12a has got smoot scroll built in.... it is on one of the Fish disks (don't know which... sorry :-)) Kiron Kiron D.

As others have mentioned, the program Handshake from Eric Haberfellner
does smooth scrolling. It also does blinking characters, double width/double
height, and VT100 line-drawing characters. It's on Fish Disk 172.

It's shareware, so you should send the author, Eric Haberfellner, a few bucks if you like it (I did). Version 2.12a is on fish disk 172. The latest version is 2.20a which adds an AREXX port & some other stuff. I wish 1/2 the *commercial* software for the Amiga was as well written as handshake. -- Hugh D.

This is really a full featured program with several emulations including VT102 and VT220. There are a large number of transfer protcols with it as well. - Bear

Can I ask where you got the latest version of Handshake? I have not seen a version with AREXX, but would like to check it out. Is it on one of the fish disks? - Doug - Doug_B_Erdely@Cup.Portal.Com

I think Eric Haberfellner is still making sure that Handshake 2.20a is bug free on Gazillions of different possible H/W & S/W configurations before making it a general release. I think the options for now are patience for a little bit or knowing how to bug Eric :-) I probably should have said "next release", rather than "newest version".
