We have Soft-PC (early version), which we had planned to use from
standard terminals in order to run various MS-DOS compilers (ie. no
graphics requirements).  But we were very disappointed to find out
(after purchasing the product) that almost no HP terminals were supported!
That is, save for those which can run in DEC VT-100/220 modes, X-terms, and
one model of the the 293x family (I think).  

Does anyone know if the newer version offers support for HP terminals 
in "HP mode"? (eg. 262x, 150's, etc.)
