YTERM is an IBM PC based terminal package written at Yale and distributed
by the Yale Computer Center.  [Frankly, I think it sucks.]  It supports
key redefinition and a fast file transfer (YTRANS).  It seems to be
used best with our VM/CMS system that has a large PC archive.  I seem
to recall that it even supports the APL character set.
