I have used these routines at 9600 baud without any problems, but have never tested them at high speeds. I guess that I will soon as I am not satisfied with any VT100/220/etc emulator on the PD market-- and need speeds as high as 38400 baud... BTW. Is there anywhere that I can get the official specs for VT100/220/etc terminals? I'll be sure to tell you all when the term emulator is done... >A couple of points, though, that didn't come through clearly in the >documentation... [ ... additions to the documentation/header files deleted ... ] Ok... Geez, does it show that the routines and documentation was a little hastily put together? Thanks. I'll place your additions in what I have here-- for consistancy sake... >Again, public thanks to David! A fine piece of work he posted. Your welcome. I'm glad they are being put to use (with someone other than librarians running on Apple II's at 1200 baud). >Roy M.
