Does anyone know if any VT220 emulation software has been created for the 
Rainbow?

Thanks, Neil Roth

The Rainbow is fairly close to a VT220.  In some ways, that is.  The
keys already send the 220 escape sequences.  The one area where it is
weak is in the screen stuff.  There have been a couple of 220
emulators for the Rainbow.  Polygon software had a 220 emulator, but I
never used it.  There was a program called TC.PAS and TCII that
supposedly did Rainbow emulation, but I never used them enough to know
how well they did it.  TC had full sources, while TCII (derived from
TC) didn't.  TCII is available from drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu if you
want to give it a spin.

What I want to know is if anybod ever created a 220.sys driver for the
Rainbow (ala ANSI.SYS from the PC world).
