This is only my personal opinion.
I have test run this program.
Most programs took me few minutes to run it, but this program I still don't
know how to make it work. I admit I don't have patient to read through
all the document, but I can run procomm, telix, qmodem ... without reading
any document.
My point is that the design of PC-VT is not very user friendly.


On the other hand, there has a very small programm called CVT100 which included
C source code. This program only need 40k to run as a VT100 emulator. It also
works perfectly under Desqview. If you don't like it, you can change its source
code too. The most important one is CVT100 is public domain FreeWare.
Try it and you will like it.
