Aduke.1988 net.micro utzoo!decvax!harpo!duke!ndd Wed Apr 7 11:12:22 1982 Apple terminal software I'm interested in using my Apple as a terminal to the local Unix system. I had just about decided that I was going to have to by an 80 column board (and maybe a monitor) when I received the May issue of Creative Computing. They review a product called Visiterm (by Visicorp, the new name of the company that brought us Visicalc) which uses the hi- res graphics to generate upper and lower case characters, apparently up to 80 columns wide (depending on how many capital letters you have). My understanding of the package is that it allows both terminal usage and file transfer. Does anyone have any further info on this? I'm especially interested in how easy the system is to use and how it copes with control characters and escape sequences. Please send replies to me; as usual, I will distill them and put the results on the net.
