Yes, I too am interesting in finding a so-called 'flawless' VT100 terminal
emulator - does anyone have this Terminal DA 1.5 that keeps getting
mentioned ? If they do, could they e-mail it to me BinHex 4.0'ed ??

By the way, on the subject of VT100 terminal emulators - here's my
assessment of the one's I've seen :

MacKermit   - Minimal VT100 emulation. No double-width/double-height/smooth
              scrolling/double-width cursor etc. etc.

VersaTerm   - Lots of (gimmicky) features and fairly good emulation. Still not
              good enough for my liking.

MacTerminal - Only average emulation and I think the screen buffering system
              is annoying.

Red Ryder   - Sorry, Scott, but Red Ryder is pretty poor ! I run at 9600 baud
              all the time and Red Ryder just can't keep up. Use DrawString,
              Scott, NOT multiple DrawChars !!! Emulation is minimal.

VT100
Maculator   - I thought I'd put a plug in for this one because I wrote it
              myself ! Interesting features : double height width/text,
              very fast E-test, double-width cursor on double width lines,
              session logging, dual-speed smooth scrolling, IntelliMouse
              cursor positioning (click and cursor gets there - even allows
              for tabs, unlike other emulators), written in Turbo Pascal.
              NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE (YET....), but will be made Public
              Domain if anyone's interested....I might even release the
              sources if people like it...

Please keep e-mail directly to me to a minimum - I'd rather read any comments
in NEWS (I like a good argument !)...
