Not true at all! Ultimaterm does support VT100, but, as Mike mentioned, it's a buggy implementation. The best VT100 emulator out there is probably V-Term, written by Tim Koonce and sold through GIMMESOFT. Another good one is DATAPAK III+, sold by Cer-Comp. (Greg Miller also wrote one, but it's not being actively sold.) If you want a good terminal emulator, check either V-Term or Datapak out. CoCo 3 only, but they have good features. From the discussion on the COCO mailing list, sounds like V-Term is much preferred. BTW, you can get a copy of Ultimaterm over the net through the LISTSERV server that serves the CoCo mailing list. Free downloads & Docs, too. To find out how to use the server, and to get on the list, send mail to: LISTSERV@pucc.Princeton.EDU (or LISTSERV@pucc.BITNET) and include the following command lines (as you choose)...
