SnowTerm is a VT100 and VT52 emulation program for the Apple IIgs.
Currently, that's all it supports, but it has some advantages over
ProTerm. First of all, it's cheap. I think the ShareWare fee is $25 or
something like that. The main advantage though is that it uses the SHR
screen so you can actually get underlined, flashing, and bold text, as
well as the VT100 graphics characters. You just can't get underlined
text in ProTerm, it usually fakes it by using inverse instead.
