A friend of mine desparately needs a vt100 emulator for the C64. I have about three for the C128 (including kermitv2 and vt100-128) but none will work on the c64. If anybody has one that works reasonably well, I would appreciate it if you could uuencode it and mail (or post if no other way) it to me. I think that this is a lost cause, but he is set on getting one. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vernard Martin - Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 isusevm@pyr.gatech.edu "Where there is a will, there is a way to subvert it" "Some people call people who actually see the world Cynics" -- Mike Sandler -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vernard Martin - Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 isusevm@pyr.gatech.edu "Where there is a will, there is a way to subvert it" "Some people call people who actually see the world Cynics" -- Mike Sandler

THE VT100 terminal emulator for the C64 is called EMULATOR.100 by Allegheny Software Works, P.O. Box 7103, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. It costs only $19.95 + $2 P&H. It does true VT100/VT102/and VT52 emulation, including 80 col screen through internal software, multiple modem capability with phone directories for auto-dialing, ADVANCED-VIDEO features like single/double/quadruple sized characters, a text buffer, disk, and printer control, user definable key bindings, userdefinable scripts and much, much, more! EMULATOR.100 is a must for any serious telecommunication with most mainframems and BBS's!

Will EMULATOR.100 send a "Break"?

As perhaps you already know, as mentioned in the UX-Maze monthly post (few message back) by Alex Liu, there are several VT100 program for the C64. What is more Kermit V2.0 can also be ran in the C64. This is what I am doing right now. I think that your version of Kermit terminal program doesn't work on your friends C64 because the initialization file that is used by the main program of Kermit is configured for the C128. Therefore another copy of Kermit might work for him. The program is available from the UX-Maze mail server and from Purdue FTP site. For a doc on how to make use UX-Maze mail server see previous posts under that topic. Sincerely, Scott K. Stephen

EMULATOR.100 is an off shoot of a public domain program I wrote called VT100.C64--I improved the code significantly then was able to sell the copyright to Allegheny Software Works, Inc.--THEY sell the program--I don't get any money from the sales--my deal was a one timer. They added all the features to make it sellable--multiple modem compatability, printer/print screen capabilty and more. Yes, you can send a break by holding down the control key and pressing the up-arrow key simultaneously--this is a critical capability to survive certain mainframe/DEC-server type systems. I also am one of many who have the latest copy of KERMIT and I do appreciate the efforts of Mr Sullivan and Mr Moody. Of all the different KERMIT programs for the Commodore, theirs is certainly the most complete, well maintained piece out there--when I need KERMIT file transfer, I always reach for their program!

Stephen Scott raises a good point: what exactly does Kermit do if the screen driver is set to something that the current hardware can't use (i.e., BI-80 or C-128 when being used on a standard C-64)? Ray anticipated this when he wrote Kermit, and Kermit will automatically "fall back" to the C-64 80-column hi-res screen. So, no need to worry about maintaining separate KERMIT.INI files for different hardware configurations you might be using. Oh, and the current version of Kermit is 2.2, not 2.0... :-) Kent Sullivan Microsoft Corporation The opinions expressed in this article are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.
