- Since UW is available is source form, providing VT100 (or better) emulation
- should not be a major task. I'd do it, if I needed it. I don't see WHY
- it's that much of a problem though - If you're using UW, then you must
- be running on a Unix machine at the other end, and it should support TERMCAP
- anyway, hence you can change to adm31 enulation at that end, rather than
- trying to hack this end.
-
- Maybe just a bit extra effort is required at the Unix end.
