VT-100 is a subset of ANSI (formally known as ANSI X3.64-1979).  ANSI, as
implemented by most MeSsy-DOS BBSes, includes the liberal use of "IBM
graphics" characters that cause funny things to appear on most other
computers, the Apple II included.  I'm working on a terminal program that
ought to include most of the ANSI stuff.  It will also let you pick either
double Hi-Res (for 8-bit IIs) or 640-mode super Hi-Res (for the GS) for your
display (SHR will offer color, which will probably be impossible for DHR).
A real ZMODEM that works (unlike the fake ZMODEM in ProTERM) will also be
a part of the system.
