Subject: vt-100 terminal emulation program for z80/apple

Richard,
       Kermit is a public domain file transfer protocol which includes vt52
terminal emulation.  You can obtain kermit from Columbia-20 (after 6pm EDT) or
from SIMTEL20 (<cpm.kermit>).  I hgith recommend it for interprocessor
communication.  It can be easily modified to simulate a vt100 instead of a
vt52 (sans graphics).  If you just need the vt100 emulation, then in your cp/m
handbook note the description of the bios functions for the terminal.  All
versions of cp/m that I know of for the Apple use vectors and a translation
table for terminal emulation.  If your cp/m is such, then making it emulate
a vt100 is simply a matter of changing the entries in the translation tables
and altering the vectors, to point to routines that will first filter the
characters not recognized by translation.  (None for vt52).  If you need
to simulate the graphics of a vt100, then I don't believe that the Apple has
the required resolution.
       If this is not sufficiently helpful, then contact me as rmeier@star.arpa
