I am posting this for a friend who has a 1984 Kaypro 4. He needs to
use the Uniplex package on Unix, and needs VT100 emulation in a
comm package. VT52 will not work with the version of Uniplex we
are running here. Any pointers would be appreciated, including
PD and/or commercial software. He is running Mdm795 now.

I do have a set of termcaps for the Kaypro that implement its built-in video functions, if this will help. I also have a public domain terminal program called INTTERM. Its interrupt driven, so it will not drop characters like the CP/M Kermit will. Used with the my termcaps, it gives you a nifty terminal out of the old great gray lunchbox. (Sysline, line insert & delete, inverse half-intensity video, etc.) Let me know if any of this might help, and I'll see if I can post them. Jeff Wieland abp@j.cc.purdue.edu

It does work after a fashion; I can't really evaluate it fully because I almost never use it. But it is strictly a terminal emulator; no facilities for file transfer. C. Wingate

There is a VT100 emulator for the Kaypro 4 (and other later-model
Kaypro's). I have not used it, so I cannot vouch for it at all. One
obvious problem that I have no idea about is that the Kaypro keyboard has
nothing available to correspond to the PF1-PF4 keys of the VT100. This may
or may not affect what you need it for. It is strictly a terminal emulator,
with no file transfer capabilities, though you may be able to use a program
like IOCAP to capture what appears on your screen (but I cannot guarantee
anything like that). It is also supposed to have a maximum speed of 1200
bps, which also may or may not affect you. I am pretty sure that Steve
Sanders' Tampa Bay KUG (which I think is now called something else, sorry)
would have it.
