[comp.os.cpm] VT52/100 Emulation

SAGE@LL.ARPA (03/29/88)

Tony Waters asked about VT52/100 emulation for CP/M computers.  One way to do
this is to get the commercial version of MEX (MEX-Plus) with the emulation
package.  The trouble is I am not completely sure what features have to be
supported in the host terminal to make the emulation work.  Certain cursor
addressing, screen clearing, and line clearing are needed.  I believe that
insert-line and delete-line are also needed, and I cannot remember whether
or not the Kaypro supports those features.  My guess is that it does.  The
cost is about $90, but you get all the other good things that MEX offers in
the process.

This is in reply to Tom Waters, who wanted a vt52/100 emulator for his c128.
Well, I have one.  It's for cp/m mode and it handles all the extra characters
for your keyboard (like the tilda and so on) and is quite easy to use.  Only
problem: no manual.  Good News:  free-ware.  If you drop your name and address
to me throught the mail, I'll send you a copy.  I'll try to find the name of
the guy I got mine from - I got a disk and quite a few useful programs for the
cp/m mode for about $5, along with a catalog.
