That's easy! Couldn't resist that. Anyway, the program you want has is MS-DOS Kermit 3.10 from Columbia University. I would have included the announcement here, but it is somewhere around 7 pages long and is accessible in Comp.protocols.kermit. Code was added just recently to send back the VT100 identification sequence- -it has for some time sent back the VT102, VT220, and VT320 sequences--so that systems that don't parse the identification sequnce correctly will now recognize the terminal type. In reality, it implements a VT320 with TEK 4014 (?) and doesn't attempt to restrict the operational characteristics to the specified terminal type. On systems that can support 132 column mode displays, MS-Kermit will switch between 80 and 132 columns in one of two ways. If it can recognize the adapter type, it is done internally (I added support for Paradise VGA Professional, Plus, and Plus 16 that use the 3056-xxx firmware. Send me a message if you find any problem with any of those.). You can also supply a COLS80.BAT or COLS132.BAT to execute any program to switch columns for adapters that aren't recognized. Commands are provided that allow you to log several different entities. The session log will capture everything that you do in a session and can be replayed with the replay command later. I've used it but am not sure how to control the replay rate except with the pause and escape keys. Double-wide, double-high, and double-wide/double-high is crudely emulated. At least, the relationship to the surrounding screen space is preserved. Underlining is replaced by reverse video. For AST's integrated VGA, I'll be adding 80/132 column support in the future. Probably, the VERY new future! An AST Premium 486/25 arrived on my desk on Thursday and my 286 disappeared. Still the Paradise chip but different firmware. Unfortunately, my multisynch monitor disappeared and the replacement turned out to be fixed frequency but is supposed to support the 5F mode needed but I haven't been able to tweak the frequency enough to get it to work.

Peter, check this one out. I use it. It will play back captured terminal sessions and emulate Heath-19, Honeywell VIP7809, VT52, VT100, VT102, VT320, or Tek4010 terminals with color graphics and even lets you capture the screen as a TIFF file while displaying a color graphic.
