Willy Langeveld, comoderator of amiga.user on bix, is releasing VLT in the near future. It is an outgrowth of the VT100 series of programs. It has support for REXX macros. It has MUCH improved XMODEM/XMODEM1K protocol handling. It has a partial 4105 emulation, and a facility for shared screens via a sharedscreen.library. (Lots of other additions to the familiar VT100 family.) You WILL want arp 1.1 and REXX to make it work fully. He's in final debug and one of his coworkers is finishing up the TEX'ed manual. <@_@> (mostly jdow@bix. Not much time to hit USENET, alas.)
