The best VTxxx terminal emulator I have seen is SmartTerm 240. It emulates VT100, VT52, VT220, VT240, VT241, VT640, Tektronix 4014. It also runs the graphics modes supported on the VT 241 and can be made to very sucessfully emulate a Gigi terminal (basically a VT241 that could run Basic). The emulations are as perfect as I have seen on any program and yes, it does do 132 columns on the screen if you have an EGA card. It also suports tektronix graphics. I don't remember the cost of the program, but if you want true VTxxx terminal emulation including graphics and 132 column mode, then this is the only real choice I have seen. The maker of the program is PerSoft. Disclaimer: I have no connection with PerSoft other then the fact that my father bought SmartTerm 240 and I use it when I dial in from my house. I simply beleive that after having messed around with many programs that claimed VT100 compatibility, this is the best one available. -- The Wumpus UUCP: {cmcl2!decvax}!rochester!ur-tut!aptr BITNET: aptrccss@uorvm Internet: aptr@tut.cc.rochester.edu Disclaimer: "Who?
