Hello, I'm looking for a decent, bug-free, public-domain vt52 or vt100
terminal emulator for my C128/64. I don't have an RGB monitor, so I
need one that does readable 80-column emulation as well. I need to
run emacs, and I'm using a Hayes-compatible modem at 1200bps. Is
there such a beast out there somewhere?
If possible, could someone e-mail or post an address where I could get
one? I'd also be willing to mail a formatted disk to someone to get a
reliable emulator.
I'd really really appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks.
-paul nadolny.

I strongly suggest that you make a cable to use the 80 column mode on your composite monitor (unless you're using a TV; something I didn't think about at first - if you do, ignore this). All you need to do is take pins 1 and 7 from your 9-pin 80-column video port and connect them to an RCA jack (standard composite cable jack) and you're off. I've been doing it for years. It's a monochrome signal only, but it is very clear. This will let you use the faster 80-column software. - R'ykandar. -- | R'ykandar Korra'ti, Editor, LOW ORBIT | phoenix@ms.uky.edu | CIS 72406,370 | | Elfinkind, Unite! | phoenix@ukma.bitnet | PLink: Skywise | QLink: Bearclaw |

I strongly agree. Why? Because I've tried to use 40 column terminals on 80-column systems. It is a *PAIN* (I know - I did it for over a year.) The public-domain prog. I recommend is Fred Bowen's VT-100 Emulator v2.1. It is currently available on both Q-Link and P-Link, or if you are not a subscriber to those, I am willing to send you a copy. :-) How strongly can I recommend it? Well, I am typing this to you right now on it - I use it DAILY for connection to PSUVM, with the *only* problem being that I wish I had a higher baud than 1200! ;-) Kurt
