Yeah, isn't vttest fun? I thought I had ATP working great (I'd been
using a real vt100 as a comparison machine), and then I ran vttest,
and found out about things like the fact that it expects you to be
able to move the cursor in the middle of an ESC sequence...

Writing vt100 emulation was fun, but I'm glad I don't have to do it again.
