....I am wondering what the best vt100 term for the c64 is. So far I have only 2 of them, Terminal-1 which is OK but has akward vt100 emulation which does not seem to work with emacs. I also have Kermit 64 which is pretty nice, has 80 columns, and works with emacs well but the problems I keep running into are its lack of buffer and an annoying problem where the texts gets garbled if I dont pause it every few seconds to catch up. ...I'd like to find a vt100 emulater that provides: o 80 columns o A capture buffer o no input buffering problems as described o GOOD vt100 emulation that will work with Emacs ...If anyone out there has such a terminal, and wouldnt mind distributing it, please let me know here or in Email... Thanks in advance, Perry Stokes - stokes@vondrake.cc.utexas.edu (512) 836-2163 (voice)

I personally don't have this particular version of this program, but I do have an earlier version of this program (but this one doesn't have VT emulation) and I follow it to be better in handling 80 columns display. I thought the scrolling was more faster and more responsive. And this version has an excellent buffering capability, and also supports the unusual characters like backslash, underscore, swigly, [ESC], [CTRL], etc. From what I have heard CBterm 6.7 is available at Q-Link. So, if you have access to Q-Link you can get it from there.......and when you do, I would be nice if you could send me a copy of that program to me too :) There was a person who had that program, but couldn't send it because of transfer problems.. :( Sincerely, Scott Stephen
