No kidding. I have a program that works under every terminal emulator
I've used, but crashes the Win3 Terminal so hard it won't run again
until I exit Windows. The program runs on the Vax and does ordinary
VT100 escape sequences to clear the screen, etc. At one of them - I
haven't bothered to trace it down to which (I do have the code) - Terminal
just crashes and exits.

This program is important to me, so at the risk of starting a religious
war, I would like to ask for opinions on good, cheap VT100 emulators
under Windows 3.0. If I get a bunch of email responses, I'll summarize.

thanks, rich
