VT100 has a lot more editing features than VT52.  It supports such thing as
BOLD, REVERSE, FLASH & UNDERLINE displays (though you can't have that with
a BI-80 card).  Even more powerful than VT100, is VT102.  VT102 has advanced
editing functions like screen scroll.  VT102 is a superset of VT100, wich
means all of VT100's features are available in VT102.  Kermit v2.2 supports
VT102 very well.  My main complaint towards Kermit v2.2 is the lack of a
buffer, but it is the best VT100/Kermit package available for the C64.

If you're lucky enough to have a C128, you should get a copy of DESTERM v2.00.
Now this is what I call a HOT program.  I'm not going to describe its features,
it does everything!  It's available for FTP at the milton site.


Sincerely,
Eric Trepanier
