It is described as a Tektronix model 4010 Graphics Terminal Emulation Program for the IBM Personal Computer. It will also emulate a VT-100 terminal. I used this package to display graphics generated on two mainframes: An IBM, running SAS, and a Plot 10 application run on a Cyber. This package is compatable with IBM or Plantronics Color + boards, or a Hercules graphics board. It also comes with device drivers for Okidata and Epson printers. The package allows the user to download the picture image to file on the PC. Then, a utility which comes as part of the package is used to DRAW the file. In addition the upload/download facility allows transfer of ASCII text files. The setup procedure for the package is clumsy, but can easily be worked around. An On-Line help facility is available. A small subset of the Tektronix model 4027 terminal commands is included to select colors when the screen is in a mode that will display colors. In addition, a plotting utility for the HP 7470A is included. This is a nice package, and is available from: MicroPlot Systems 1897 Red Fern Dr. Columbus, Ohio 43229 (641) 882-4786
