I just know of one - VTEDIT.TE

I had unhappy results with a VT220 in VT52 mode 25 years ago, but it
works great with a real VT52.
I seem to remember using it just fine with a VT320 though. I think you
had to make sure you set it to 7M1 or something like that, and not use
8N though, or else it wouldn't be pretty.
I totally forgot that I wrote a Emacs-clone for TECO8, which is what I
normally use. That one I have probably not posted anywhere anytime. But
we also have VISTA, which was available from DECUS, and which I have. I
think I made it available, and maybe others have too.
So for people in general, you have atleast two options, and I should
post my EMACS.TE sometime too...
