We are looking for a good terminal-emulator for IBM-compatible PCs. It should be able to emulate vt100, vt220, vt240, vt330, vt340 etc. Tell me about your experiences with some of the commercial products, so as e.g. Smarterm240 etc. Please name the manufacturer, the version, the source where to buy, as well as the price of the product. Of course, the program should handle file transfer. Persoft seems to be the producer of Smarterm240 etc., but unfortunately I do not know their address ... Thanks for help in advance ................................... Didi

PC-VT version 10.0 USER Supported Software 1 January 1990 9888 Carroll Center Road Suite 113 San Diego, CA 92126 PC-VT is a VT-100/102 and Tek 4010/4014 Emulator for the IBM PC or PC Clones. PC-VT runs on the PC, the PCXT, and the PCAT under DOS 2.x and 3.x. This version of PC-VT is the complete Professional version which has been available for about 3 years. I have taken all of the enhancements (and bug fixes) of that version and moved them into the User Supported version of PC-VT. The Professional Version is no longer sold commercially. Now more about the version 10.0 of PC-VT. It includes an enhanced version of the VT-100 emulator and a Tektronix 4010/4014 emulator. It supports both 132 column mode and high resolution graphics with the addition of the Everex Edge board and high resolution graphics with the addition of the Hercules graphics board. It supports the VMS EVE editor as well as EDT, VI and Emacs with special Keypad key bindings. Windows are used for file transfer and the program can be completely controlled by the host for automatic file transfer. The keyboard can be remapped to suit your taste, screen colors can be set with Escape Sequences, and you can recall screen data which has scrolled off the top of the screen. I have versions of XMODEM for the VAX running VMS ,for UNIX System V and for UNIX 4.2BSD and a version of ZMODEM which runs under Unix. You can get those by sending me a formatted 360Kb diskette for each one you need and a pre-paid pre-addressed diskette mailer. Make sure you tell me which ones you want. The XMODEM and ZMODEM programs are public domain. Some of the enhancements for version 10.0 of PC-VT are: 1. The dialer has been enlarged to 100 entries. 2. ZMODEM and YMODEM are now supported using the external DSZ program from Omen Technology, Inc. 3. PC-VT Supports COM3 and COM4 for serial communications 4. The printer escape sequences are handled more like a VT terminal. 5. PC-VT does a better job of emulating the escape sequences to the local printer. 6. PC-VT handles LPT1 through LPT4 and COM1 through COM4 for the printer port. 7. RTS/CTS flow control has been added. 8. Added a SETUP feature to disable PC-VT Private Sequences. 9. Full Tektronix 4010/4014 Emulation. You can always get the latest version of PC-VT from me. Call my phone number below to find out what the latest version number is. To get PC-VT, you can : 1. Call my ATHENA SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT GROUP board at 619-549-3927 and download the file PC-VT100.ZIP. 2. Send me 2 formatted 360K floppies or 1 formatted 1.2M floppy along with a self-addressed postage paid floppy mailer and I will return them in the mail. 3. Send me $9 for postage and handling and I will send them in the mail. I would appreciate any comments which you might have regarding the program or its usefulness. When you write, please indicate the version number of PC-VT which you are using. -- Mark DiVecchio, Silogic Systems, 619-549-9841 K3FWT ----- 9888 Carroll Center Road, Suite 113, San Diego, CA 92126 ----- markd@silogic BBS 619-549-3927 ...!ucsd!celerity!celit!silogic!markd celerity!silogic!markd@ucsd.edu
