[net.micro] Kaypro II VT-100 Emulation

"Dr. Joseph M. Leonard" <jmleonar@CRDC> (01/16/85)

Having used my Kaypro as a dumb terminal for a while now, I am curious
if anybody has (or is aware of) a program that provides emulation for
a VT-100?  This is an OLD Kaypro (#19xxx), if that is important.  If
such a program (or programs) exists, PLEASE let me know.....

KERMIT-80 for the Kaypro (available via ANONYMOUS ftp from CU20B) has
VT52 emulation in the terminal mode.  Further info is available from
Info-Kermit-Request@CU20B.

Although Kermit does VT-52 emulation, on the Kaypro II the tabs are set
differently than on VT-52 and Kermit does NOT make allowance for this.
(At least, the version of Kermit that I tried a few months ago did not).
But if you are using the Kaypro II as a really dumb terminal, maybe you
are not aware that it has line insert, line delete, clear to end of line,
and clear to end of screen.  For 300 baud you really need insert and delete
character, but for 1200 baud the provided functions are fairly adequate 
for full-screen editing (I use it with emacs).

I'm running Kermit on my TeleVideo TPC I, and as far as I can tell, all
that VT-52 emulation mode does is eat nulls.  This was installed from the
same source as the Kaypro Kermit -- those who have fooled around with
installing Kermit on CP/M systems know that this is 188K of source code
with *scads* of conditionals.  What I have on my system should be pretty
much the same as what you've got on your Kaypro, unless you've got 4.0.
