This may be an ignorant question, but what the heck... Is there such a thing as a 80-column VT100 emulator that runs on the C-64? With documentation even? And if there is, would anyone mind mailing a copy to me? I'll pay the disk costs, postage and whatever. Please reply by e-mail. Thanks, John Bullough, bullough@rpi.edu

I like to use KERMIT. You don't specify what type of system you are going to call, but KERMIT works well with the UNIX system I call. You can get a copy from: Dr. Evil Laboratories P.O. Box 3432 Redmond, Wa. 98073-3432 Disk $5.00 (includes manual on disk) Typeset Manual: 7.50 (Washington Residents add 8.1% sales tax) Disadvantages: Supports only KERMIT and RAW ASCII file transfers. Lots and lots of parameters to set. Advantages: Public Domain Very Flexible (Can be made to talk to almost anything). Bottom Line: I like it, your mileage may very. Good Luck. -- Bruce

It's all correct. :-) >Disadvantages: Supports only KERMIT and RAW ASCII file transfers. > Lots and lots of parameters to set. Kermit doesn't really support raw ASCII transfers--it has no buffer send or receive or stream from/to disk. However, it has special file types which can be used when talking to another Kermit programs: you can transfer standard ASCII, PETSCII, C-Power (Power C), Speedscript, and binary files, and perform all necessary conversions automatically. >Advantages: Public Domain > Very Flexible (Can be made to talk to almost anything). I would add here that its VT-100 emulation is pretty darn bullet-proof, and that it has a VT-52 mode and also some VT-102 support. Not to mention limited Tek 4010/4014 graphics terminal emulation... >Bottom Line: I like it, your mileage may very. > >Good Luck. -- Bruce Kent Sullivan
