AS to the question ov VT100 vs VT52 emulation

According to Don Elton, who among his other projects has put out a 
telecommunications program, there are too many differences between the two
terminal types to have such compatibility.  The VT52 apparantly uses binary
codes to drive the screen while VT100 uses ASCII codes.  I do not have more 
details.

The only apple program that I know of that does VT100 emulation is 
Sorterm //, by Softronics.  This program is fairly expensive ($150 +/- a bit)
and requires an attachment from softronics to operate.

It works very well, BTW< as that is what I use most of the time...
