mterm (was: Re: VT100 under SIMH)

...
   I've been
threatening to buy a 3rd party terminal emulator for Mac OS
  X, but I simply can't find one that works they way I want.  Most
  don't handle the double-height fonts correctly, 
Making double-width and double-height work was one of the things I put
some trouble into when writing mterm.  Its decansi mode is a pretty
good VT-100 emulator for output, and in many respects for input too.

See ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca:/mouse/X/mterm.src/ - the mterm.README
file is a bit out of date, but you may find it of some use, and
mterm.doc should be correct.

Suggestions for improvements welcomed. 
Has anyone been able to build this for Mac OS X?  The various little 
testing tools run under Terminal.app quite nicely.  However, after I 
*finally* managed to build mterm, they just generate escape 
sequences.  It sounds most interesting though, I think I'm going to 
have to find time to try this out on another Unix box.
