Yet Another VT-100 Emulator

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd mention in case anyone is interested... Having recently acquired a couple of VAXen, I've taken the time to update my LAPTALK terminal program to provide MUCH more complete VT-100 emulation. This is a very small (<20k) DOS program, so you can use it to turn any old PC into a terminal. First the bad news - Like most PC/text based VT-100 emulators, it DOES NOT support: - Double width/Double height lines. - 132 column mode. - Split RX/TX speeds. The good news - It does support "most everything else" now. In fact, it's the only emulator I've tested which passes all of my "VT-100 Checkup" tests (excepting for the limitations mentioned above) - I've included the test program in the archive. It also adds a few extra features you might find useful: - Fairly power script language for automating sessions. - 40 programmable function keys (F1-F10, ShiftF1-F10, CtrlF1-F10 and AltF1-F10) with on-screen labels. (very handy!) - If you have a VGA display it will load a custom character set to provide the complete VT-100 character set including the graphics mode characters. I've also include a font editor so that you can create your own custom character sets if you like. I've made the package temporarily available at: http://www.dunfield.com/pub/index.htm If there's any interest, I'll find it a permanent home.
