  \UniTerm\ is  a  program  that emulates most of the functions  of 
DEC's  (Digital  Equipment Corporation) VT102 and VT220 text terminals 
and of  Tektronix's 4014  graphics terminal. 
Additionally \UniTerm\ provides the XModem, YModem and Kermit file 
transfer protocols.  

The program \UniTerm\ is copyrighted, it can be 
copied,  distributed  and  used free of cost, but may not be sold 
for more than the actual distribution costs. Please contact me, 
if you find bugs or 
have  suggestions  for  revised  versions  of  \UniTerm,  but read
appendix A and the implementation notes first.  

  Some compromises  have  been made in the implementation of  the 
VT100  132  column mode and double width characters will not work 
on  a  color  monitor.  Enhancements which are planned for future 
releases:

\begin{itemize}
\item Tektronix 4105 commands (already started!)
\item make \UniTerm\ work with the blitter-chip
\item enhanced color version (colors for highlighted etc.)
\end{itemize}
