A friend of mine let me borrow his 1030 modem for a while.  He bought an ST
and has another modem to use with it. He also let me borrow his copy of
Chameleon.  There seems to be a few bugs with the VT52 emulation.

Maybe someone out there can help me.  I have Chameleon version 4.03.
The termcap file that came with it is for a terminal similar to a VT52.  It
really does not seem to work.  For example, according to the temcap file, the
code for a clear screen is Escape H Escape J.  That does not work.  Yes, I did
set up Chameleon to emulate a VT52XL and executed the termcap file I downloaded
from the Chameleon disk just like the instructions said.

Does anyone know of this problem and possibly any soultions to what I've
mentioned?  Oh yes, something else I noticed.  When Chameleon is set up to
emulate the Glasstty and I am listing something to the screen and I fill up
one line, the next character to
print wraps around to the next line just like I would expect.  However, when
I am in either of the VT52 modes, it does not wrap.  The excess characters
just overwrite one another in the last column on the screen.  Is this a 
known problem or is it perhaps a switch in the termcap file?

Thanks for any help.  If I can get this working, maybe I can use vi from
home.  Of course, any problems I am having could be due to operator error
and not bugs in the software!.  In case it matters, I am using this on
an 8000XL.  Just in case you are wondering and to prevent any flames, I am
waiting for the Atari 1200 baud modem to hit the market.  I will return the
modem *and* software to my friend.  I am not and have no intention of 
pirating this software.
