PC100 update (VT-100 emulator)

[Dave Dunfield]

Hi Guys,

I've just posted an updated PC100 to my site - excepting for bug fixes
(please send reports), this should be the last version for a while, as
it has reached the point where it does everything I need (and more).

Updates in this version:
- Implemented slow-scroll as a substitute for smooth-scroll
- Improved key mapping function so you can more easily see the
  existing mappings.
- Added a BREAK key (finally) - and programmable break timing.
  (Removed the BREAK function from the menu)
- Programmable ^G and Margin BELL fequency and bell length.
- Programmable VT-100 DA response value (mainly so that you.
  can decide if the terminal indicates AVO present or not).


PC100 is a PC based VT-100 emulator which:

Runs under DOS, so you can use any old PC as a VT-100

Is more complete than any other DOS VT-100 emulator I've seen,
supports everything from the DEC VT-100 documentation (including
VT-52 functions) except for:
 - Double Wide/High characters.
 - Smooth scroll is implemented as "slow scroll".

Supports all VT-100 attributes correctly (VGA).

Supports full VT-100 graphics character set (VGA).

Keyboard is fully mappable, including Shift, Control, NoScroll,
Break, and all other VT-100 key functions. You can use ANY key
on the PC keyboard for any VT-100 key. Default layout replicates
the DEC keypad to the extent allowed by the physical differences.

Additional (non-VT-100 features):

Powerful script language lets you automate sessions.

File transfers - ASCII is built in, and can link to external
programs for other protocols. I include a XMODEM/YMODEM module.

30 programmable function keys with status line labels and up to 64
character transmit strings (I use them for commonly issued commands
during debug sessions).

Enjoy,
Dave
