I have a C64 with a color monitor and a 5 1/4" disk drive. I am about to buy a modem for it. I need to know whether I can get an 80 column terminal emulator program (preferably VT100 emulation), that will run on it. I know that the C64 "wakes up" with a 40 column screen, but I also have INFOCOM games that definitely but 80 columns on the screen. I solicit recommendations of programs and where to purchase or otherwise acquire them. Thanking you all in advance. Larry Brown

Thanking you all in advance. > Larry Brown There are several 80 columns terminal programs for the C64 with emulations: Kermit2.2 (VT52, VT100, partially VT102) Novaterm 9.1 (Ansi, VT52, may be VT100) CBterm 6.7 (VT52) VT100 for C64 (VT100) Sincerely, Scott K.

Hello, netlanders! I have just become (as of a few hours ago) a proud owner of an Aprotek C-24 2400 baud modem. I am using the C64 VT100 emulation software that comes with the machine, despite the lousy 80 column emulation, because I couldn't figure out for the life of me what the "backspace" or "delete" keys are on the Novaterm 9.1 VT52 emulation (Otherwise, the program has been great for the short time I've used it.). Could someone please help me with this O-so-simple question? Thanks! Oh yeah, is there any way to get the cursor keys to work when using the UNIX vi word processor with the C-64 in VT54 emulation? J. P. Grenert (in spite of what the header might say) hamilton@brahms.acs.udel.edu

Grenert (in spite of what the header might say) >hamilton@brahms.acs.udel.edu It sounds like you haven't loaded the ASC.ANSI/VT52 module. You must load this module along with ANSI or VT52 mode in order for things to work properly. If you still can't get delete to work, try shift-delete.
