Red Ryder 11 will not support Tek Graphics, perhaps some new product in
the Future will handle Tek. I have no problems whatsoever with RR's vt100,
it inverses when its supposed to, underlines with no problems at all. I'
would suspect the termcap here, though its hard to say without specifically
seeing your problem.
	
As far as new features, Red Ryder 11 has several major new features over
10.3, however this is not the time to reveal those new features, though
some have been mentioned here and there. It is well worth waiting for. And
should be released later this summer....
