I'm not sure, but check out meshugena. It's an excellent VT220 emulator (with a VT100 mode) with UW support as well. I posted it to comp.binaries.amiga awhile back, and it finally appeared recently. I don't recall if it supports smooth scrolling, but it may. The documentation makes mo mention of it, yet it does mention "jump scroll" at one point. (apparently as a mode select) So, it may be worth looking into. robert> I really like VLT because it lets me use my own custom font, robert> but smooth scrolling would A) make reading news a LOT easier robert> on my eyes, and B) make for a nice effect in a science fiction robert> TV program I am co-producing here at KBVR.

I just can't bear to part with that program, but I robert> need smooth scrolling. Meshugena is an *excellent* VT220 emulator, extended with UW support, but that's all. No file transfer or graphics. It DOES have scrollbars, however. (scrollback buffer chows memory, though.) Myself, I prefer DNet... Until I write something better. :-) Deven -- Deven T.
