This is excellent news, since vt100 emulation is such a bear to get right I'd rather not have such a fertile breeding ground for bugs in my kernel (I've written two vt100 emulators, and doing it right is a nightmare. Just being able to support all the nondocumented features DEC depends on to run their two main versions of EDT (VMS and RSX) plus TPU took me several months of trial-and-error). -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Hefur pu fadmad ulfinn i dag?
