- Personally I would be more impressed with these and other offerings
- if they would also do Tektronics graphics. I believe that there is one GS
- program that does Tektronics emulation, though little else. There are of
- course limitations in resolution with a GS or a //e, but something like
- the emulation offered in the MS-DOS version of Kermit would be very useful.
- This gives a pretty chunky output on hercules or mono graphics, but the
- information is accessible for a lot of purposes. Certainly this is not
- outside what the GS is capable of.
