I've been playing with a ST loaned from ATARI for this week, including
the developer's kit. Having a lot of fun breaking the C-compiler,
finding out that the vt52 emulator only works so-so, benchmarking,
the usual stuff. The machine clearly has a huge amount of potential
waiting to be mined. The problem for me is that I need a good
terminal emulator with graphics right now to make the buy (we're
talking 6 or 8).
Since initially we will be running these guys under UNIX we don't
care if they are vt100 emulators or whatever, so long as they have
standout mode, clear screen and cursor motions. As for graphics, we
are fairly device independent through an extension to termcap/terminfo,
and can run Tek graphics, HP, anything sensible. So far I haven't
managed to track down a good terminal emulation program. I would be
pleased with any of the PC programs such as PC-LINK III. Any leads?
