MacTerm is supposed to support XMODEM file transfer protocol, where LisaTerm (at lease the version I got to play with) had no file transfer capabties. LisaTerm does emulate a VT100, and handles inverse, normal, underline, 80 col and 132 col. I suspect that the Mac will lack the 132 column feature although it is rumored that the National Optometric Lobby has approached Apple for this feature :-). The only problem that I have had with LisaTerm (besides the fact that it is painfully slow) is that it does not handle the Insert/Delete Line/Character. Without these, it makes using some editors painful. John Duncan (mb2c!jed) Michigan Bell (313) 424-0178
