I don't understand all the complaints about PC-VT that have been posted
recently. The basis of these postings is a "vt100 emulator test program"
(which I admit I haven't tried), as opposed to actual use of PC-VT in the
real world. My experience is that PC-VT is the only PD emulator that I have
found that works correctly when I log into a UNIX system and use the vi
editor. 

On the other hand, I have been unable to usefully use vi with any of the
terminal emulations claimed by Procomm (at least version 2.3). Most of 
these emulations "sort of" work, but none is as complete as PC-VT.
