Since UW is available is source form, providing VT100 (or better) emulation
should not be a major task.  I'd do it, if I needed it.  I don't see WHY
it's that much of a problem though - If you're using UW, then you must
be running on a Unix machine at the other end, and it should support TERMCAP
anyway, hence you can change to adm31 enulation at that end, rather than
trying to hack this end.

Maybe just a bit extra effort is required at the Unix end.
