The package "Terminal Emulator and File Transfer 2.40a" on an IBM PC emulates double height/width (does double spacing on the screen, but the characters all come out in the right place), alternate character sets (UK,GRAPHICS,US), display control font (part of the graphics set, just as on a VT100. Uses representative symbols from the IBM PC character set.) It also does VT52 emulation, and can be put into VT52 mode from VT100 (or VT102) mode by the host, just like a real VT100, and when told to go back, will return to VT100 (or VT102) mode, just like a real VT100. Also manages 19200 baud on an AT, or 9600 on a PC.
