Please! Give Commodore a break. Are they required to come out with every piece
of software than anyone might find useful? That's what the third parties are
for. Anyway, check your facts... I use GKS on a Vax and all it needs is
Tektronix emulation to display graphics. I suspect a VT240 is simply a VT220
with Tektronix built in. There are several freely distributable programs with
Tektronix emulation available for the Amiga.
