<h2>Faithful - What does it REALLY mean?</h2>
Faithful VT terminal emulation means that the emulator stands up to the
most demanding applications that were designed to take advantage of every
feature of the terminal. Here are a few tests that Kermit 95
passes with flying colors.
<p>
<ul>
<li><i>All</i> of the tests in
the <a href="ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/vttest/">
<b>vttest</b></a> test suite.
<li>VMS fullscreen applications like EDT/TPU (EVE) and DECnotes.
<li>Every 3270 protocol converter model we've run up against.
</ul>
<p>
Try these with other terminal emulators and compare the results.
<p>
And remember, terminal emulation works both ways: to the screen and
from the keyboard. A faithful VT terminal emulator supports all major
VT terminal keyboard functions, and a <i>good</i> emulator also lets you
move them around to the keys or key combinations of your choice.
<p>
OS/2 C-Kermit and MS-DOS Kermit include
"keyboard verbs" for every type
of VT 100 and 220 terminal key: Function keys, PF keys, Arrow keys,
Editing keys, Numeric keypad keys, and the Compose key. These verbs
<i>faithfully</i> follow the "modes" of each key, and they can be moved
around any way you like to maximize your comfort and productivity.
