[munch....munch.....munch....munch.........BURP!]

About a week ago, I asked the good people on the net to send me
information on Tektronix emulators on the IBM-PC.

As a result of this request, my mailbox was filled to the edge
of /usr/spool/mail! Thank you to all who responded.

A lot of people wrote me about Tekterm2, a program which was posted
to the net sometime ago. Most of them were very satisfied with it.
Unfortunately, I could not use it since it requires a CGAcard, and
I have a Hercules card. 

Below follows a summary of companies that produce Tektronix Emulators.
I have not tested any of these products personally, so I can't give
opinions on the performance.

The list is not sorted, so the first product needn't be the best.

PS. The fact that IBM's own Tektronix emulator is at the bottom of the
list *is* significant.......
