[comp.sys.amiga] Tektronix emulator

greg@physics.UUCP (08/22/87)

Has anyone seen or heard of a Tektronix emulator for the amiga. Actually it
doens't even have to be Tektronix, just something with graphics capability...
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance,
Greg Tusar

	I am truly sorry that I have posted this reply on the net.  I attempted
to reply directly, but Rutgers had not heard of the VAX called "Physics", so...

In article <836@physics.UUCP> he write:

	Yes.  One was written by a guy here at Caltech using Dave Wecker's
VT100 emulator as a base.  It uses dual playfield mode so that the graphics
can sit behind the text on the Amiga.  I seem to remember it being a 4010
emulator, but am not quite sure about that.  It is on most PD Amiga BBS's, but
if you can't find it, I will archive my version and send it to you.
	Please let me know if you want it.  If I don't hear from you, I'll
forget about it.

A-TALK PLUS from Felsina Software handles Tektronix 4010/4014 graphics
emulation.  It allows screen sizes up to 700 x 440 and supports DPaint II and
Aegis Draw formats.  It also has many other common features.  I have used the
package for VT100 emulation, but not for Tektronix emulation.  I hope this
help.

There is such a beast on one of the Fish disks - it is called a
Tek4010 emulator I believe.  It is built on top of a early version of
the vt100 emulator that many people on the net seem to be using.

I have upgraded it a little, along with incorporating it into the latest
vt100 version (2.6).  I use this program to emulate a tek4014, but a 4010
is "downwards" compatible.  It is supposed to support a color terminal
(I think its called a 4100), but I am not able to test this feature.  

If you, or anyone else on the net would like it, I can e-email it to you.

Last week, in reply to a request, I posted an article mentioning that
I have a tek4010/4014 emulator built on top of vt100(v2.6).  I have gotten
more than 20 requests for it so far, and they are still coming in, so
I think that I should post it rather than use e-mail.  So, for all of
you who replied, its coming soon.  Look for it in the amiga sources and
biniaries newsgroups.  If you can't get access to them, or to Purdue 
via ftp, let me know and I'll work something out.
