I got the VLT docs ,as a .dvi file, from csd4.milw.wisc.edu via anonymous ftp
and they worked fine.

BTW I have been using VTL as a terminal on a VAX runder VMS.  It has some
problems though when I run applications using the DI3000 graphics package. It
works fine when the di3000 device type is set to tek4010, but when the device
type is set to 4014, or 4105, I run into a couple of problems.       Text
(generated by di3000) appearing  on the tek screen does not seem to start where
is should, but rather whereever the curser happens to be at the time.
The other problem is that it does not switch between the alpha-numeric and
graphics screens
correctly.   The FORTRAN program which uses DI3000  has some write and print
startments.
The problem is that when in 4014 or 4105 mode, the text always comes up on the
graphics screen.
In 4010 mode,  I switch to to alpha-numeric screen, and only after the text is
finished displaying
will it switch to graphics.

When I do this on a MAC running versiterm, 4105 ,4014 works just as well as
4010.

Am I doing something wrong, or is VLT just not complete as a 4014/4105 emulator?
