- There is also the ability to get wider fonts and larger letters in VT102..
- I don't think Novaterm would be able to support this where there is only
- one font in memory at a time?

- Someone was using VT102 codes the other day on my BBS to make larger and
- wider letters and I tried viewing it using ANSI/VT and VT100 terminals but
- couldn't get the effects (whereas Atari, IBM and Amiga users could).
