The vt-100 emulation is as good as most, but I have had to force several screen rewrites already. It has it's own font, which is shorter, I think, to allow for the menu bar at the top. It is read- able, but not fantastic (the font). It does not support file transfers, and lacks any file utilities, but seems usable. It does not, in it's present form meet my needs, but it has promise. The above were my observations, based on an hours use of Snowterm 1.04, and no more. Oh yes, you cannot save dial lists, and there are no macro's. But it does have an amiga style screen/background/ text color selector. Rich -Rich-@cup.portal.com
