It is not a trivial task to generate any terminal emulator. (Ask papa, Keary
Griffin, or Dillon, or . . .) It is probably easier for the Diga! package
than others because all you have to generate is the emulation part. All the
cleverness is around the outside. THe documentation for the emulation interface

is available from Aegis, download from BIX, or I imagine any of many other
systems. (I think CIS has a copy.) If you're clever doing emulations I bet you
could cook one up comparatively easily. (And I bet many folks would be delighted
to see some new terminal emulations posted for Diga!.)
