It is not a complete VT-100 emulation... the most glaring thing missing is function key support. Most of the common screen control functions work, though, including some attributes (within the limitations of the screen) and scrolling regions. The VT-100 emulation in Kermit 2.0 works nicely with Un*x programs such as vi. Like the earlier version of Kermit, this one supports an 80 column display on the C-64 using hi-res graphics. Unlike the previous version, this one also supports the use of the C-128's 80 column RGB output (while still running in C-64 mode). Also, since the VT-100 and VT-52 have 24 lines and the 64 has 25, the 25th screen line is now a status line suitable for use with the BSD sysline(1) command or other programs like it. Kermit 2.0 is available from Columbia, via the usual means of distribution (whatever those are). The guys that did the 2.0 enhancements are still working on it as time permits, and as far as I know the next release will have support for all of the VT-100 keys... I have no idea when that will actually be out, though. (Note: I had nothing to do with the production of Kermit 2.0, except for giving some advice and using my C-128 as a test bed. The authors know a lot more about this than I do, but asked me to post this because they are kind of busy right now.
