We customized our termcaps down on our 6 BSD Unix machines to do PERFECT vt-220 emultation for a number of screen routines we are working on. Terminal DA works perfectly with them. It has an incredable character set and some other nice features. Yes, it is only a DA meaning it has: no macros, no neat Red Ryder features but I always do my work on Terminal and then move to Red Ryder or MacKermit to do file transfers, etc. Terminal DA Version 1.5 by Joachim Lindenberg SommerstraBe 4, 7500 KA 1 West Germany. He says it is shareware and asks $20 bucks for it. Hope this helps, gray watson p.s. I think we got it from the mac.binaries a couple of months ago.
