- Prodigy yes, Minitel no. Also Bell Canada's ALEX system uses it. You can

- I've got a more recent publication, CSA T500-1983 and ANSI X3.110-1983,
- it's a joint publication. You also might want to talk to MicroStar in
- Ottawa, Canada. They have a NAPLPS graphic creation/editor package, as
- well as a terminal program. Both are good products, and have recently
- been released as shareware. You might also want to talk to Dave Hughes
- in Old Colorado City (Colorado Springs). He is "Mr. NAPLPS" - (719) 636-2040.

- P.S. e-mail me and tell me about what you're doing...
