We are looking for a working VT100 emulator for the QX-16. We currently are using an MS-DOS program called Pibterm that was hacked by someone to address the serial port properly, but this program does not properly handle scrolling regions, and most of our VAX applications software uses them. Our success with other MS-DOS terminal programs has been dismal due to the very non-MS-DOS-standard way that the 16 accesses the serial port. However, it seems that if you run a 16 in CP/M mode (ie, off the Z80), you wouldn't come across this difficulty. So the question is, does anyone know of a VT100 emulator for CP/M that: -Will work on the QX-10/16 -Handles VT100 scrolling regions properly -Can do most video attributes (bold, inverse, underline, blinking) -Can support speeds up to 9600 baud (Xon-Xoff flow control is fine) without dropping characters That sounds like a tall order, I know, but if the answer can be found anywhere, I think here would be the place. Thank you very much. _____________________________________________________________________________ Mike Richichi, Student Operator, DRUNIVACC | My opinions are mine Box 1411, Drew U, Madison, NJ 07940, USA | and mine alone, unless MRICHICH@DRUNIVAC.BITNET or MRICHICH@DREW.BITNET | you wish to buy them.
