  For professional use, we have developped an Atari ST Tektronix (tm) "ASTEK"
 emulator with the following features:
 - to be used with monochrome system only,
 - offers choice and settings by menus and dialog boxes,
          mapping of graphic space: 1024x780 -> 512x390,
          full emulation of 4010-4012,
          emulation of 4014 vector mode,
          interprets some sequences of 4105 format: line attributs, marker
          type, fill area style. Dynamic drawing is possible without
          refreshing the entire screen.
 - enables graphical input with mouse and keyboard,
 - offers choice for local character size (between the three system fonts),
 - presents text in one or two-columns mode (without scrolling) in Tek mode,
   Save of graphical screen (now in Degas format) on disk file for later
 local enhancement and hard-copy.
 - return to alphanumeric (VT52) mode with vertical scrolling at any time,
 - break signal capability....

 The first version of ASTEK was presented on the Atari Software Show in
 Paris (18 march 1986) and a copy was given to Atari Corp via Atari-France to
 be evaluated. Many professionals have showed interest in this product.
  Therefore, we plane to distribute it with charge (ranging $100-$150)
 should Atari Corp. decide not to act as distributor.
