There is another VT100 emulator available for the 8-bit Ataris.  It is called
OmniCom, and runs on an 8-bit with the 80-column OMNIVIEW chip installed.
I have never used VT10SQ, so I can't speak from personal experience,
but I understand that OmniCom is an improvement over VT10SQ.  Besides VT100
emulation (in 80 cols. of course), it also offers Kermit and Xmodem, and the
latest version has ascii capture and a print-screen feature.  I am quite
pleased with it (I don't even have the latest version yet!).  I _have_ used
the Kermit + VT52 emulator, and the old Chameleon, and was more than ready
for 80 columns.
