Subject: Re: VT-100 terminal emulation program for Z80/APPLE

In response to the message sent  4 Jun 1985 1550 PST from  AUGUST@JPL-VLSI.ARPA

There is a software package called MITE+ (with emulation option) which
provides Apple CP/M systems with emulation of 94 terminal types, of which
the popular DEC terminals are included.  Be aware of the fact that,
depending upon the hardware CP/M implementation, the scrolling of the 
monitor at speeds above 300 bps may cause "character loss".  I put the
phrase character loss in quotes because the characters really are
received, but not displayed.  I do file transfers using XMODEM with this
program at 1200 bps and never had a fault.  Uploading or downloading files
without a protocol wrapped around the transmission can be interesting at
speeds greater than 300 bps, however.  Regular interactive sessions at
1200 bps also display this character loss problem.  Mite+ does just about
everything you could ask for.  Other than this Apple hardware problem, I
am completely satisfied with MITE+.  (By the way, the '94' terminal types
mentioned above is NOT a typo; that is for real!)

If you want to run VT-100 emulation in ProDOS, Apple's ACCESS II software
package runs great, even at 1200 bps.  Also will emulate a VT-52.

P.S., MITE+ costs about $150 to $200 depending on where you buy it.  The
company is in Florida.  I found their technical support to be outstanding.
I needed help from them because when they went to a new major release of
the software earlier this year, they had a hammered .COM file.  They
FedExed new diskettes (Saturday delivery option also) at their expense!
