Does anyone know if there exists a terminal emulator capable of supporting
132 columns on the Amiga? If so, who, what, when, where, why, and how
much?
Thanks in advance. ..

I beleve also Diga! supports 132 using overscan, and the Shareware Handshake too. -- Marco

What kind of parameters >can I set? Will it operate in server mode? Currently the support is similar to the one provided with the kermit included with the PD VT100. For server mode, there is a GET command besides the RECEIVE command. Wilcards are supported, though we allow UNIX wildcards (*?) instead of Amiga wildcards (#?). Again, this is an unreleased product so things might change. -- Marco

Version 2.6/jrbii of Dave Wecker's PD VT100 program also supports
132-column mode, using overscan. It was posted on comp.binaries.amiga
recently.

If so, who, what, when, where, why, and how > much? yes. Can't remember. It did 132, but was semi-buggy. Again, I can remember the name of the program; I have a friend who has it; if you are truly interested, I can get a hold of him and post the name. It was reviewed in Amazing Computing. I think it begins with 'S'. About 6-8 months ago. Amazing computing (you are getting redundant). Why not? Someone had to write it. Val (a resident at wsccs... ...wsccs!val wrote a 220, including sixels, I think...) $160.00 or so.

I remember! it was 'Diga!'... and I was right... it was buggy :-(. | Terry Lambert UUCP: ...!decvax!utah-cs!century!terry | | @ Century Software or : ...utah-cs!uplherc!sp7040!obie!wsccs!terry | | SLC, Utah | | These opinions are not my companies, but if you find them | | useful, send a $20.00 donation to Brisbane Australia... | | 'There are monkey boys in the facility.

You want a good terminal emulator that supports 132 columns??? Try VT100 (V2.6/jrbii.2). It has a lot of nice features (kermit,Xmodem, Ascii capture; script files, an "iconify" gadget, etc), and it's FREE! Warren Kring Boeing Aerospace Co. Seattle, WA

A terminal emulator with VT-100? There's Handshake (Shareware), Diga! (about $100 from Aegis, and buggy [not to mention SLOW]), and a program that is goint commercial "Real Soon Now": Amic 1.0. I have been using Amic since version 0.56 (I'm currently using 0.59e, waiting for a 0.97 to test), and it is simply the BEST terminal program for ANY machine! According to the programmers (David Salas & Albert Kirk), Amic 1.0 will support FULL VT-100, including 132 collumn, blink, bold, underline, tall/wide characters, etc. I think they plan on selling it for $100 (worth MUCH more, but people registered to the Shareware version get the update free). Not sure what they're address is, but their BBS number is 707/579-0523 (2400 baud, 8 lines). If you don't want to spend the $100, your best bet would be Handshake (only but I know of [second hand - never used it] is in part of the initialization). Both Handshake and Amic 1.0 have Kermit (Amic ahs Xmodem, Xmodem 1K, WXmodem, Ymodem Batch, Zmodem, Direct (for error-correction modems), and one called Amic-Talk, which is like DoubleTalk in Diga! (send/recieve/chat at same time - they are also working on a BBS program with Amic-Talk). After typing this in, I just realized that I'm probably going to have to put on my asbestos suit to ward off the flames for my blatent advertising on Usenet (I am not part of Amic, btw... Only use their program:). Chris L. Hatch Usenet: prplworm@cup.portal.com GEnie: C.HATCH
