We need a vt100 emulator for a personal IRIS, because someone
here needs to use the full-page editor EDT on VMS.

The personal IRIS comes with this thing called psterm, but
it does *extremely* unsatisfactory vt100 emulation, and is
incredibly slow (just for kicks, you should try to do a 
beep on it, and see how it forces a VERY slow visual bell,
whether you want visual bells or not).

I have tried compiling vtem and screen on the iris, both
of which would give a reasonable vt100 emulation, but neither
of the runs correctly.

Has anyone solved this problem?  Any help would be appreciated.
One last thing I should point out is that the iris-ansi is not
good enough to run the VMS EDT editor.

Thank you very much,
