There is a terminal emulator for the ATARI that was written by John Palevich (Chameleon author) and that apparently is in the public domain. It supports the KERMIT protocol, the Hayes Smartmodem, the Atari 1030 modem, and has smooth horizontal scrolling (which is NOT automatic). It emulates the VT52. I have successfully used this with vi on UN*X and for transferring files (at 1200 baud) between the Atari and KERMIT running on a UN*X system, and (at 9600 baud) between the Atari and a DEC Rainbow running KERMIT. This program is written in ACTION!, so you need the ACTION! cartridge. It works beautifully, and is an outstanding example of an ACTION! program. (Yes, it is in source code form.) I got it from a DEC public access system in MA. FYI, this is how to contact the DEC system. Note that it only supports KERMIT file transfers, but the files you need are all ASCII. The files all start with "ATA", and they are in the KERMIT: directory, so you can see them by typing "TYPE KERMIT:ATA*.*" (or something similar - on-line help is available). To get onto DEC's market machine, phone (617) 467-7437 Once you get a connection, (1200 or 300 baud) type control-C twice. This enables auto-baud. then: LCG LCG-KERMIT KERMIT This gets you on. The system is primarily a KERMIT system, but it has MS-DOS and CP/M areas from which files can be downloaded using KERMIT. BTW, also in the APX catalog is a disk full of ACTION! utilities, though they don't describe what exactly is on it. -- Dan O'Connell ihnp4!{floyd,bonnie,clyde}!danoc
