As my opinion, the best thing in UNITERM is Tek-emulation, PLEASE DON'T
drop it. You can easily get several terminal emulators (smaller) without
tek-mode ( ex. IC). I feel that UNiterm is good just as it is, I use it
all the time.

The other choise (small and without tek-mode and without kermit etc.) could be:
	- VT100 as desk accessory (just like the original VT52)

BTW. Has anyone found ,that UNITERM doesn't work with original (and old)
     Tektroni PLOT-10 graphics library (in VAX/VMS). I used an old program
     (made 1982) and it didn't work. Then I tried with others:
      Mac's TEKALIKE works
      Mac's VersatermPro works
      Televideo terminal+ Datatype graphics didn't work
      Selanar graphic terminal works
