I would like to warn anyone who tries to use the UNIX Emacs "vt100"
driver with a Visual Tech. Co. Visual 100.  The Visual 100's padding
requirements are within the VT-100 specs, but apparently far greater
than whoever coded the "vt100" driver believes.  If you change the
padding to match DEC's specifications, all is well.  I would be glad to
supply the details to anyone who is interested.

Incidentally, we use the termcap driver for the Gigi.  Your Gigi driver
sounds interesting.  What does it do?
