Hello there!!
	I'm not a regular reader of this newsgroup, nor I'm an expert in 
DOS and PC. Plese respond by e-mail.
Also, please be as descriptive as possible.

There is a need for development of VT100 terminal emulator for IBM PC
compatibles. I know there are quite a bit of such packages available in
the Public Domain and one can get it free.

Well, the problem is bit different. The need to support native language
text (not english) and absolutely no file transfer capabilities needed.
Just understanding VT100 escape sequences are needed.

I tried looking into source code of various PD software for
understanding how it is done. But, only kermit source is available and
it is in ASM!! QVT bin was available, but no source ( I guess it is
based on C code). Does anybody knows a PD software doing termimal
emulation and having source available for either C or PASCAL, or does
anybody done similar thing and want to share it?

Another way was to use ANSI.SYS driver and write communication part.
Well, the aim is to further this idea of terminal emulation without
using DOS (but using PC hardware) and putting the code in ROM so that PC
boots upto VT100 terminal (supporting native langauge, ofcourse). In
such cases, ANSI.SYS will be useless, I guess.

Can any kind soul help me in this. Is there any serious flaw in my
ideas. Can share some terminal emulation code with me, I won't have to
worry about managing that part. Is there any Public domain source (C or
PASCAL) avaiable?

Please do send me e-mails with all your ideas and information. It will
be of great help.

Thanks.
