I am writing a screen editor as a senior project (please no evangilizations
on vi/emacs/etc). What terminals should it support, just in case I don't
use standard termcaps and instead write my own? (I will most likely use
curses etc but just in case)

All we use here are Wyse 60's (and a few awful TVI 920's in a corner
somewhere). Have most places moved up to the more modern terminals,
such as the Wyse, TVI 955, etc.?

I really don't know because I'm not familiar with anywhere other than
school. (We did use TVI 925's in high school, and they were testing
Wyse terms for purchase when I graduated, but that was eons ago.)

Thanks in advance for input.
