In the hay days of CP/M, each machine had it's own terminal settings which is why one needs to install most CP/M applications to match the machine running them. WordStar runs fine under VT100, but there are issues when editing text with things like the first line disappearing or scrolling problems, which I am assuming are related to an incomplete emulation by TIPI. An yes, that is the emulator I am using. A specific 4A client would be totally awesome! I wonder if anyone has tried using MyTerm for the TIPI for the Geneve. It has ANSI emulation which I think is "as good as", though do not know if it is better than, the TIPI telnet client with the F18A. Does Wordstar use more than 80 columns? Maybe I am thinking of another editor., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage of RunCPM over this one though is that the former allows you to just drop CP/M executables and files into a drive folder directly without the need of special tools and it will run them just fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more like the Linux community started using "vt100" to mean "terminal emulator" and forgot it referred to a specific piece of hardware at some point. So the DEC VT220 color codes are now part of the Linux vt100 software platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TheBF Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I noticed that Tera Term configured as VT100 also responds to color codes. So your observation has even more followers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we just need to add some code to copy the DOS window over to the TI - custom terminal! Probably want F18A so you can have 80 column text. ("just", I say... ) just port vnc to the 4a w f18a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
