Yes, I too am interesting in finding a so-called 'flawless' VT100 terminal
emulator - does anyone have this Terminal DA 1.5 that keeps getting
mentioned ? If they do, could they e-mail it to me BinHex 4.0'ed ??
By the way, on the subject of VT100 terminal emulators - here's my
assessment of the one's I've seen :
MacKermit - Minimal VT100 emulation. No double-width/double-height/smooth
scrolling/double-width cursor etc. etc.
VersaTerm - Lots of (gimmicky) features and fairly good emulation. Still not
good enough for my liking.
MacTerminal - Only average emulation and I think the screen buffering system
is annoying.
Red Ryder - Sorry, Scott, but Red Ryder is pretty poor ! I run at 9600 baud
all the time and Red Ryder just can't keep up. Use DrawString,
Scott, NOT multiple DrawChars !!! Emulation is minimal.
VT100
Maculator - I thought I'd put a plug in for this one because I wrote it
myself ! Interesting features : double height width/text,
very fast E-test, double-width cursor on double width lines,
session logging, dual-speed smooth scrolling, IntelliMouse
cursor positioning (click and cursor gets there - even allows
for tabs, unlike other emulators), written in Turbo Pascal.
NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE (YET....), but will be made Public
Domain if anyone's interested....I might even release the
sources if people like it...
Please keep e-mail directly to me to a minimum - I'd rather read any comments
in NEWS (I like a good argument !)...

Well here's another strong opinion. Why don't you make your emulator public and give the rest of us a chance to critique it. I does the net no good to have a review of a piece of software that is not available to anyone. Glen

It might enable us to transform the program into a VT 132 emulator. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Uul Haanstra, Postbank N.V.
