Does anyone know of a good terminal emulation program for the TRS-80 model 4. I have Omniterm Plus (ver 4.10) and neither its VT-100 nor its VT-52 modes seem to work with either VI or EMACS. I pampered, and I just can't write code with ed or ex. Thanks!!!! Rob Phillips AT&T BL 190 River Rd. Summit, NJ 07901 201-522-6359 attunix!bobp -- Rob Phillips AT&T BL 190 River Rd. Summit, NJ 07901

I tend to use Model 4 Kermit, which includes a Heithkit-19 emulator with it (terminal type h19, which is vt52-compatible). It's not perfect (on VMS, SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE doesn't get it, but fortunately, I don't often use VMS), but it seems to work with vi. Mel Patrick has a terminal program out called FastTerm II, which has VT-100 emulation. I have an old version, and the emulation isn't too good in it, but supposedly he has improved it. It's available on diskette for $15, but I don't have the address handy, because he moved recently. Either of these programs is available on a number of BBS systems. I think one of the older versions of FT II is available via ftp from xanth.cs.odu.edu as well. Good luck! -- John C. Fowler, jfowler@ucsd.edu.
