If you want the word on what's available in this area give me a
ring on Warrington 2120.

re 275.0 and 275.1
Hi, whatever you suggest for VT emulation to customers do NOT repat
NOT, suggest WHACK, that is NOT for consumption outside Digital.
There are a large number of PD emulators and also I have seen
commercial emulators. One that springs to mind is "VT220 term" by
Michtron (I think), The obvious benefit of a Commercial package
is that the customers should get support !!.
It is gratifying to see that customers are choosing good machines
(megas) as terminals. Why they should want to hang a slow file handler,
(the Vax) on them is a bit peculiar!!

I think the consensus would support Uniterm hands down (unless you are
a priviliged DEC person with Whack) as *THE* VT emulator of choice. I
know on USENET et al and at school where I was that nobody used anything
else. Simon Poole in Switzerland is continually (was?) 'supporting'
it and it has TEXed documentation (~70+ pages) so it looks professional.
Check on USENET. It is also archived here but I don't know what policy is
in regards to taking a copy off of the enet.
Simon's address is (was):
Simon Poole
Bahnhofstr. 51b
CH-5430 Wettingen
Switzerland
Good luck

| Now, on the other hand, you could get Sowtware Serices to SELL them Whack...

| 275.5 | A few commercial programs... | LDP::WEAVER | Laboratory Data Products | Tue Oct 18 1988 20:57 | 8 |
| Atari makes a barebones VT100 emulator, in a cartridge, I say
barebones, I don't know that for a fact, but at around $24 U.S.
I can't imagine it being loaded with features. Eidersoft sells
an emulator that I believe was either developed in the U.K. or
England, I forget which. There is another package called AnsiTerm,
not sure who publishes that.

| I forgot to mentions Flash, which supports Xmodem/Ymodem and the
SHADOW accessory, that is available from Antic, not sure if they
have U.K. connections, but I would assume so.

| Re: flash and possibly others.
My copy of flash states in large letters that it is a VT100 emulator.
However it is an ANSI terminal emulator. It does NOT support most
of the DEC VTT100 escape sequences. I have seen at least one
other emulator which misleads the buyer in this way.
Be careful.
