-
- There's a vt102 emulator program which works with KA9Q available for
- anonymous ftp from ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/ibmpc/DIS/vt102.zip. No special
- termcap entries needed.
-
- Three caveats:
-
- 1) DR-DOS's console driver bypasses it unless you install it as a full
- device driver. Works fine as a removable TSR with MS-DOS.
- 2) Auto line wrap doesn't work properly. I must fix this.
- 3) No function keys. If you want them then you will have to add them
- yourself. My standard rant on the evils of function keys is
- available separately by email on request.
