[comp.windows.x] xterm & VT220

arjan@nikhefk.UUCP (Arjan Hilgersom) (04/11/91)

Does anyone know of a vt220 emulator (including double-width
and double-heigth fonts) that works like xterm?

NCDs have a VT220 xtelnet built in (including -width the fonts),
but we are using NCD, Tektronix and NCR Xterminals.

I am thinking of writing it myself, but I don't want to re-invent
a product if there is no need.

My mterm does double-height and double-width.  I don't know what a
VT-220 can do; mterm's ANSI-with-DEC-extensions mode was written to a
VT-330 manual.  The major thing left that VTxxx terminals can do that
mterm can't is REGIS graphics.  (Also, some operations are slower with
mterm, notably changing the screen to or from reverse-video.)

You can get it with ftp to 132.206.1.1, in X/mterm.src/, or by mail to
me if you can't ftp.  Please mention any restrictions on mail message
size if you mail me; the distribution size is:

That's plain-text.

-rw-r--r--  1 mouse      126330 Apr 11 18:37 mterm.ball-o-wax.Z.btoa

That's run through compress and btoa.
