Could someone please explain (especially price and > performance)? VersaTerm came over a Usenet news group, either net.micro.mac or net.sources, and the author specifically asked that copies not be further distributed, so non-Usenet readers of info-mac are out of luck unless they can convince the author to send it to info-mac. It works for the things I've done with it, and supports everything but file transfers that I would want. I've had it hang up sometimes, but identically to the ways real VT-100 also hang up! Some of the announcement "Help.doc" file follows: ************ VersaTerm ************** ** Copyright 1984 Lonnie R. Abelbeck ** *************************************** . . . Commands may be placed in the "Commands" menu with the "Edit Commands" entry in the "File" menu. When selected, the string is transmitted to the host followed by a CR. Text copied to the Clipboard may be Pasted to the output Stream. . . . This program was created with Manx C68k, it will operate to ~2400baud, the vt100 emulation is good, the 4014 is excellent, and the D200 is good enough. Don't think these are 100% emulations in each case, but good enough for practical purposes. The vt100 has character insert and character delete, vt102 style.
