- Currently, Term is the only program to support these external emulations.
- X-Comm however, when it is released, will also support the XEM Standard in
- the full. There are currently 4 major XEM libraries available:
- - XEMIBM.library (Full IBM BBS terminal library)
- - XEMVT340.library (Supports almost every standard of VTxx
- including VT52, VT102 and VT340 both 7
- and 8 bit.)
- - XEMAscii.library A plain ASCII terminal which filters
- standard ANSI commands but doesn't
- act on them.
- - XEMAmiga.library Uses amiga's built-in console.device to
- display data.
-
- I don't know much more about the standard (The documentation was very
- poor), but I do hope that it will be expanded on. If it has enough support
- from terminal program authors, then there should be more made available.
- If the author is reading this, could he please email me at my address, as
- I need to speak to him about a few things..
