- I would like a copy. It would be interesting to compare to my own VT100
- emulation code....

- Find DEZIP from Richard VanHouten. You will need to register it to get
- a fully functional copy, but it's only $10. Richard has several other
- dearchivers and a few other utilities as well. He can be reached via the
- TRS-1/3/4 FIDOnet echo. (This information is why I posted instead of
- e-mailed....)

- BTW: My VT100 emulator has been greatly expanded by R V and is available as
- a commercial product through Computer News 80. It's called ANSITERM and
- requires a HIRES graphics board and a Model 4. It displays the IBM character
- set and fully implements the IBM ANSI control codes. The screen is 80x30.
-
- Several File transfer protocols are supportted, including Ymodem Batch.
-
- (This is not an ad, as I am getting no kickback whatsoever from the sale of
- ANSITERM--My code was donated to the public domain (and, those portions of
- ANSITERM are STILL PD), and Richard picked it up and made a marketable
- product out of it.) I can send you MY source code archive if you would like,
- since it is PD. My code requires TRSDOS 1.3 on a Model 3 using a Model 3 Radio
- Shack HIRES Board. It will reliably communicate at a sustained 19200 bps on
- a model 3 running at 2MHz. My interrupt routines are quite tight! Oh, it
- also requires either modification to the interrupt buffering code or a special
- port-mapped memory board to operate.
