What kind of features does desterm have? What protocals? Any Emulations? Just
wondering. I have been looking for a good vt100 emulator for a long time. The
best I have found, was kermit 2.1 for c128. And then again that does not have
all the features I wanted like a buffer, xmodem, punter, CP/M disk access. The
only terminal I founwith all the extra features (but without a good emulation
was bobsterm 128. It had tons of features. Writing to CP/M formats, Converting
files from basic to text and visa versa, but the emulations had a littel bit
to be desired. They didn't support scroll regions for vt100 which is a little
annoying and some applications scrolled the screen when printing on the 80th
column. Other than that that program was wonderful! It had a built in text
editor that I used often for editing C sources then sending them from the 
buffer. Also, I tried out vt100/128 on the 1670 distribution disk and found
that it always errors when I load it. The program runs and appears to be 
working and then it gets a strange drive error (I think it is 31 syntax
error or unknown command or something, note that I am using it on a 1541 and
not a double sided drive which may be the problem). I got past the error by
loading the vt100-128 file then resetting the computer then restoring the
last program in memory with MACH-128. Then somehow that seems to reset the drive
and fix that error. Other than that, with vt100 I have had problems with it
really emulating a true vt100. It supports the locates and I think it trys on
the scroll regions, but it just doesn't get it. It ends up linefeeding at the
80th column and the scroll regions can be messed up. Anyone know of any term
that supports all of my needs in one package?
