I don't think vt100, vt220 are officially, explicitly color
terminals but there is color support in mskermit. Some unix text programs
that use color, not all but a few, do not work very well with vt220 emulation
(set term type vt220) but _do_ work with "set term type ansibbs" in mskermit.
I believe these same programs work well in various xterms in xwindows on
linux, I would have to check to be absolutely sure. I used scripts to
work around this in mskermit, using apc to change term type then running
program, then using apc to return to a vt terminal. Wondering generally
why this is?
Thanks
