Not entirely true.  The 60 is slower than the 50, and without a bunch
of padding information it will lose characters at high speeds (certainly
at 19200, maybe at 9600 as well).

The 60 also has alternate screens, 132 columns, and lots of strange
block-mode crud.  I've thought of maybe using the alternate screen
feature along with a hacked-up version of the "uw" (Unix Windows) 
software for the Macintosh, but I've been too lazy.

I never said that those were the only features, I only said that those
were the only additions I had made to my terminfo file (the previously
posted terminfo for the wyse-60) that needed to be removed to make
it wyse-50 compatible.

I am WELL aware of the multi-pages,emulations, and blockmode (useless
except for IBMers - yeck).  Since we're talking about the wyse-60, though,
does anyone know if there is a version of the wyse-60 with ANSI or 
pseudo-ANSI emulation?  I read something to that effect in _Computerworld_
but I couldn't believe it.  I would *love* to be able to get an upgrade
including ANSI/VTXXX emulation, if possible.  (It would be fine if they
replaced the Hazeltine, ADDS, IBM, DG, PC and AT modes!)  I think the
_Computerworld_ guys just got mixed up between the 60, 75 and 85.

P.S.  Mike - I'd love a copy of 'wyse windows' if you ever do code it!
