Lets consider this Beta. You *must* read the documentation, especially the sample S:DTERM.INIT file at the end. 1) In terms of VT100 emulation, it doesn't compete with Dave Wecker's VT100. In fact, DTERM can't do VT100 emulation. 2) Intelligent datamapping for the keyboard and incomming data means that you can program DTERM to emulate almost any standard terminal. I've included Z29 emulation. (Remember, this is a beta version, I plan to add more features to the low level console ). Of course, you can do ANSI emulation since that's basically the Amiga's console device. You can use the 'SUN' termcap (on those systems which have termcaps) instead of the 'ANSI' termcap. The 'SUN' termcap is at least ANSI.11 (or whatever the amiga uses), which means that your VI likes you a bit better. 3) State machine control... can you say 'dial up, set the proper baud rate, and log me in'? I knew you could. Uses arbitrary string matching on the input stream. 4) DME like command sequences. Thousands of commands. 5) You can build your own menu's. Source is available on request, but I don't guarentee that you will be able to compile it straight. -Matt (The next two posting contain the docs and uuencoded executable)
