- Yep.. ANSI is another example of the IBM PC world taking a standard,

- Call Tektronix and see if you can get the programmers info for one
- of their 4000 series terminals. That's what I used as a reference for
- TelCom. In addition, I also used a vt100 tester program that Dave Whitney
- provided me. These two sources gave TelCom the vt100 capabilities users
- rave about. Okay, so that sounds like an ad, and it is. TelCom is FREE!
