I have seen one program pass both the DEC STORE test and the VTCOMPAT.TXT
program (as it is known on the BBS's in this little part of the country.)
The program is called Professional YAM, and both files pass with flying
colors - windows, scrolling, PC colors, ANSI graphics, etc. CrossTalk,
Pibterm, Copylink II, ProComm, etc all have problems at one place or
another in both of the tests.

Information requests on Pro-YAM can be serviced by sending mail to
....!tektronix!reed!omen!caf on UUCP. And, of course, I have no affiliation 
with the makers of Pro-YAM other than I like to see excellent software
become popular and mediocre software pass to the lower parts of the earth.
