. Does anyone know where I can get a good VT100-emulating terminal program for an IBM PC? It should allow uploading & downloading of files to/from MS-DOS. Thanks in advance.

There is a company called PERSOFT INC. which has some software called SmarTerm 100 which is a VT100 series Terminal Emulator with ASCII and Binary File Transfer. The specifics are: Persoft Inc. 2740 Ski Lane Madison WI 53713 (608) 273-6000 -- Duane N. More

For a very good VT-100 terminal emulator, try PC/InterComm<tm> from Mark of the Unicorn<R> in Cambridge Mass (They're the MINCE, Scribble, and FinalWord folks.) The program goes for about $100.00 retail and will support your printer, upload and download (dumb or XMODEM), and run at 9600bps if your connection will allow it. It's head and shoulders above VTerm (cost less, more features, better documentation, and not copy protected, to name a few) ***Aside - I do not condone software piracy. All of our copies of PC/Intercomm for which I am responsible at Duke are purchased.*** It supports the VT-100 protocol up to the hardware restraints of the IBM-PC (e.g. no smooth scroll or 132 col, etc.) in every application that I have used (EDT, VI, and GEMISCH - trademarks all). Other packages that claim Vt-100 compatibility, that I haven't used, are CrossTalk and the Persoft offerings. If you need VT-125 capcbility, Persoft may be the only game in town.

Lately there's been articles with munged headers showing up. The article, to which this is a followup, is an example. Here's the header we received: Relay-Version: version B 2.10.1 6/24/83 (MC830919); site kvvax4.UUCP Path: kvport!mcvax!philabs!mcnc!ecsvax!doc From: doc@ecsvax.UUCP Newsgroups: net.micro.pc,net.wanted Subject: Re: VT100 Terminal Emulator Wanted Message-Id: <2229@ecsvax.UUCP> Date: Mon, 2-Apr-84 04:03:19 GMT Article-I.D.: ecsvax.2229 Posted: Mon, 2-Apr-84 04:03:19 GMT Date-Received: Wed, 4-Apr-84 09:00:47+0200 References: uw-june.1028 Lines: 17 I.e. no Posting-Version, thus readnews won't accept it. After adding that line I was able to post this followup. But it is a bit heavy if one has to check all the article numbers for possible holes, then check the corresponding spool directory and in case it wasn't a true hole after all fix the header in order to be able to read the article. Of course by that time your .newsrc file says that you've already read it ... It shouldn't bee too difficult to track this down. -- Esa K Viitala {decvax,philabs}!mcvax!kvport!kvvax4!esa A/S Kongsberg Vaapenfabrikk, CTG4, P.O.Box 25, N-3601 Kongsberg Norway tel. 473-739644 tlx. 71491 vaapn n

Huh? Posting-Version is only added by 2.10 or later sites. There are plenty out there that don't add it. This doesn't bother any of the other sites out there - what weird readnews are you running? And why are you voicing this in net.micro.pc? net.news would be the correct place.
