Is there a Tektronix terminal emulator for the NeXT? Say, a Tek 4014? This would really be useful, since codes of a bygone era often drive Teks to display graphics. In particular, one that I plan to port to the NeXT does! A hack would be to use the Tek emulator in X windows---but I'd rather run under NeXTStep. (Of course, any code that emits tektronics graphics doesn't deserve to run under NeXTStep :-) I think a simple tek emulator would be a nice complement to Stuart...I'd certainly be willing to shell out, say, $40 for a shareware one (hint, hint, Mr. Hess). -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)

According to NeXT literature, there is a demo of Communicae at nova.cc.purdue.edu that emulates Tek and DEC terminals have fun...

Don't forget that to emulate a Tektronix terminal properly, it has to refuse to erase anything short of the whole screen, and has to flash the whole screen bright green for a fraction of a second when it does the erase. Oh yes, and if the screen is color, it has to use bright green symbols on a dark green background. Yes, I've seek Tektronix emulators that do all that (optionally!). -- Imagine life with OS/360 the standard | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology operating system.

Communicae from Active Ingredients, Inc ($395) provides Tek4014/4010 emulation, and also VT100 and VT200. It also has builtin modem support. Lets you capture Tek graphics as PostScript, and other wonderful features.
