Lines: 24 One thing that I would like to see in the next version of VT100 would be printer support. This would really make it VT102 but who's counting :-). Currently, the mail system that I'm using permits documents to be printed with the P command. It then sends the VT102 "printer-on" command followed by the text followed by the VT102 "print-off" command. Being able to print as easily on my Amiga as my IBM would be a dream. The code is basically already there. Just do "ascii capture" to the PRN file (make it user setable... please, I think my VAX sends Epson codes directly) and then turn it off. Maybe if someone else is using the printer you could automatically send it to a file. Is there any plan for this? Does anyone else know of terminal program that does good VT100 emulation plus printer support?
