-
- VT102 & VT100 are quite a bit different!
-
- Essentially, as you say, the cursor controls, and other key controls
- are pretty much identical. The graphics commands, are not! They
- use slightly different character sets. Such as, if you are using
- ANSI - then this: ╬ will be something resembling a inverse +
- in VT100, it will be something quite different!
-
- The VT100/VT200 etc. vertical line, results in an Atari symbol in
- ANSI mode etc. Trying to use IRC, and other graphic-command intensive
- stuff, is not a good idea unless you are using the correct emulation!
-
- (Screen clearing codes are also slightly different, as well as assorted
- others....)
-
- Basically, if you are using IRC, use Uniterm or Flash. (Or, if you
- have a fast computer, Connect, or STalker....)
