- Um... What constitutes serious use to you? I call the DECs here at school
- with VT100 all of the time to do things like reading c.s.a.st (important! :),
- edit files (with vi of course), and generally muck about.
-
- What am I missing with VT200? I don't need Latin characters to be displayed
- on my screen (couldn't read 'em if they did show up). In other words, what
- kinds of uses are there for VT200 that aren't covered by VT100?
-
- Just wondering,
