I have downloaded, uudecoded, and un-arced the PC-VT program posted to
the net recently, and have run the VT100 emulator test program posted to
net.sources on it. I am sorry to report that it fails most of these tests
miserably. The cursor movement tests, which fill the screen with a nice
symmetrical pattern, using all the cursor movement commands resulted in an
unreadable mess. The VT102 feature tests likewise. Ditto for VT52. Double
width characters came out completely illegible. I tried to post this message
using it, but unfortunately, vi did not work right with it.
I did not try kermit or xmodem, since I did not have time. Maybe this is
an old (very old) version of the program. I hope I didn't sound too
negative, but I am only reporting the results.
NB. I tried the VT100 test program on several VT100 compatibles, including
a VT240, and everything works fine.
