There's a compatibility mode on 4105s which should allow them to
interpret 4010/4014 codes.  I think this happens automatically, but
since I haven't used a real 4105, I can't be certain.  We use the C
version of DVItoVDU on Unix systems, displaying on the EmuTek emulator
on PCs, but we have to switch the emulator into a 40xx mode, then we
can use it with -v tek4010 (the C/Unix version's equivalent of
/VDU=TEK4010 on the Modula-2/VMS version), and it works just fine.

Didn't you try /VDU=TEK4010 ?  It would seem the obvious choice.


By the way, there's a new release of the C version on the way,
rewritten to use PK fonts directly.  It will be installed in the Aston
archive soon.
