Ever got your VT100 (or emulation) in a strange state because you accidentally
tried to display a binary file. Here's how to fix it (quicker than
RESET on a real terminal). This has been used on genuine VT100s for years, and
more recently on xterm running under Unix.


vnorm - Script to reset VT100 terminal

What's here:
<esc>[m  attributes off
<esc>(B  charset G0 = US
<esc>)0  charset G1 = graphics
^O  (SI) select charset G0
<esc>7   save cursor and attributes
<esc>[r  select whole screen scroll region
<esc>8   restore cursor and attributes
<esc>[?5l  white on black  )
<esc>[?5h  black on white  ) select 1 only

begin vnorm
 echo 'X[mX(BX)0OX[?5lX7X[rX8' | tr 'XO' '\033\017'
end
