Because of a need here at the computing center I wrote a VT100 emulator.
The need was for a VT100 emulator that truely supported the wide and
wide/high character sets of the VT100. 

I wrote the emulator to run in CGA HIRES mode 6 because that is the
most widely used mode/card on campus. I have font editors that are
easy enough to create the fonts it uses. I would like to make the program
allow changing of the fonts at run time. Currently the font editors
dump include files that assemble in.

Okay so get to it? I have a lot of things that I want to add to it. I
would like to add Hercules and EGA support. I would like to add ANSI
graphics capabilities or emulate another terminal like the TEK's. My
problem is whether there is a need for another VT100 emulator or one
that runs in graphics modes and supports extended graphics features. 

File transfer is also something that would be nice to add.

If there is anyone that is interested in it or is interested in future
needs in a PD emulator or wants to help drop me a line.

Also, I have seen references to a Kermit that emulates a TEK terminal. Is
this true? There has also been talk of a version of Kermit greater than
2.29b. If there is one out there is it the new C version?

Thanks, I think.

Sam
