Mark –
> Do you use the ED/TPU editor? Also do you run ANU News?
No (ED/TPU) and no (ANU News). Perhaps I should have caveat'ed my answer to
reflect that I don't do a lot of graphics. However, I have done quite a bit
with that (stupid IMHO) "DEC 2 dimensional editor" (don't remember it's real
name at the moment). And, I have been impressed by VLT's ability to handle
partial screen scrolling regions OK. Also, it was the first Amiga terminal
emulator to handle the PaperChase (Medline Data Base) "is this a real VT-100
test" for me (it also fools VMS too of course).
I should add that I am using VLTjr Version 5.576 currently and I presume that
your experiences apply to that version (the latest) also. As you are probably
aware, "Willy L" is a SYSOP and regular participant in the BIX Amiga Forums.
Perhaps I can raise the question over there relative to "VLT leaving remains of
its cursor" and/or VLTs compatibility with the applications you mention.
