Hi...
Two days ago, I posted on this list an inquire to know how can I have vt100
emulation on SunOS 4.1.2 + OW 2.0. Thanks to all whose reply is arrived at the
moment (and to all other :-) ):

Basically, the answers were two:

(a) run xterm
(b) search for crttool-2.0

I already tried xterm, but I don't like its mapping of mouse buttons.
crttool-2.0 is however very good: from its manual page

   ============

CRTTOOL(1) USER COMMANDS CRTTOOL(1)

NAME
     crttool-2.0 - Version 2.0 XView Color VT200 ANSI Terminal
     Emulator

SYNOPSIS
     crttool-2.0 [ -C ] [ generic-tool-arguments ]
            [ -Cm ] [ -Cn color-name ] [ -Cb button-list ]
            [ -Cw ] [ -Ct font ] [ program [ arguments ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     crttool-2.0 is color terminal emulator which runs under
     Sun's new XView OpenLook window system. crttool-2.0 emulates
     most VT200 escape sequences and provides many capabilities
     beyond those provided by the standard shelltool or cmdtool
     windows.

     + crttool-2.0 supports double-wide and double-high/double-
        wide characters.

     + crttool-2.0 supports standard line-graphics characters
        for single-wide, double-wide, and double-high/double-wide
        characters.

     + crttool-2.0 supports independent foreground and back-
        ground colors in addition to an eight color palette which
        programs may use to hilight individual characters.

     + crttool-2.0 can use the mouse either to select text
        within the terminal canvas or to send row/column informa-
        tion to the program running within the terminal emulator.

     + crttool-2.0 provides a convenient color selection panel
        to modify the foreground color, the background color, or
        any color in the eight color palette.

     + crttool-2.0 provides a canvas menu to cut/paste, change
        the terminal emulator font, set the terminal size to 24
        rows by 80 or 132 columns, and to reset the terminal
        display. Unlike the SunView crttool which put this menu
        on the frame bar, the XView crttool-2.0 menu can only be
        accessed in the terminal canvas.

A rapid search on archie gave me

The last thing to do is find PC_ANSI charset... nobody has already devised it?

Thanks again to all managers! .mau.
