- Can you be specific? My cheif beta tester has an A4000 and it
- works fine. Were you trying 256 colours etc? Can you give specific
- details as to where it crashed.

- You're not the only one... An internal vt100 emulation with
- text snapping abilities is top on our list for the next major release.
- The vt100 planned should be complete. The only setback with
- implementing these emulations is the lack of good documentation. Does
- anyone have the complete specifications for implementing a VT100
- emulation? I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this.
