Larry, there has been a noticable demand for VT240 (but not like for a good wp
package, for instance) and demand for the 340 will increase (its been out about
a year and half), and the sequences are well documented, but the emulation will
not be super easy – it would make some sense to upgrade something like VLT
which is already a good part of the way there, but that doesn't seem to be
happening. And if a developer who does not use the 340 develops the emulation,
it probably won't be worth the price of the disk, as I've seen on more then one
occasion. To give you an idea of what I mean, in one VT100/102 emulator, the
developer still can't understand why I need a print screen key (to do an ansi
text/graphics dump to the printer, which should be a very simple task). And
that's nearly 4 years after the first version of this one emulator was
released.
