For those of you still looking for a Vt52/Vt100 emulator with download
capability, I am forwarding the following message from CUVMA.
They have the lastest version of Kermit (2.1) for the c64/128.

ANNOUNCING
Commodore 64/128 Kermit Version 2.1 (68)
Commodore Kermit version 2.1 is now available. This
new version has many new features, improvements, and even
some bug fixes. Here are the main new
features/improvements/bug fixes:
+ Enhanced DEC VT-100 terminal emulation with support for
the VT-100 keypad. Kermit should now work fine on
operating systems such as VMS. V2.1 has some VT-102
features added as well: Insert/Delete Line/Character.
+ Limited Tektronix 4010 graphics terminal emulation. Ker-
mit can plot both graphics and text with a resolution of
320 x 200 (C-64) or 640 x 200 (C-128).
+ Commodore 128 grey key and numeric keypad support. The
grey keys and the numeric keypad, not normally accessible
on a C-128 in C-64 mode, are active within Kermit.
+ A special file-type for transferring C Power (now Power
C) source code files. You can now download C source code
ASCII files as well as upload C Power source files. All
necessary character translations are handled automati-
cally.
+ A screen driver for the Batteries Included BI-80 80
column card. This device gives a display as nice as the
Commodore 128's 80-column hardware, but lacks many attri-
butes such as blinking and bold.
In addition to these major improvements, many smaller
changes were made. Several bugs were squashed that affected
VT-100 emulation, the STATUS command, and other things.
Obtaining Kermit on a Floppy Disk
A copy of Commodore Kermit may be obtained by sending
$5.00 postage and handling to:
Dr. Evil Laboratories
P. O. Box 190
St. Paul, IN 47272
We stress that Commodore Kermit is absolutely free, the
$5.00 is only used to cover the cost of the disk, the
mailer, postage, and handling. The disk will contain Commo-
dore Kermit version 2.1, a copy of the preliminary
documentation broken into several files small enough to be
viewed with a good wordprocessor, an initialization file,
and, for C128 users, an autoboot sector. (All of the files
on the disk are available for download from the Kermit
archives. There is a program in the Kermit archives that
will create the proper autoboot sector for people that want
to have one.)
Sometime this summer a final printed (and maybe even
bound) version of the manual will be available at a reason-
able cost. Stay tuned.
Also available from Dr. Evil Laboratories is a custom
ROM for the Batteries Included 80-column card that provides
access to the entire ASCII character set. Currently we ask
$5.00 for the custom ROM. This price is subject to change
and installation is required.
Dr. Evil Laboratories is a small software company in
which Kent and I are partners. The company has the facili-
ties to distribute Kermit much more efficiently than either
of us could personally. Also, Dr. Evil Labs has a permanent
address, something that we, being in college, don't have.
All orders to Dr. Evil Laboratories must be in U.S.
funds. Indiana residents must add 5% sales tax.
Kermit can also be downloaded from the Kermit archives
on ARPANET, BITNET, and other places. For complete down-
loading instructions, see the file C64KER.HLP in one of
these archives.
