[HECnet] Vt100 tester

[Clem Cole]

Yep.    From the FAQ:

The emulation level for xterm is set via the resource  decTerminalID, e.g., to 220 for a VT220. Once set, applications can set the emulation level up or down within that limit. DEC's terminals are configured in much the same way by a setup option.

Fyi. A friend of mine have hacked in sixel support in xterm, but I don't
think he considers it good enough for general release yet.

And xterm is still the best VT100 emulator out there.

Maybe VT100.   It fails some simple VT200 series and later escape sequences.
There's one particularly annoying trait that causes me to have to "refresh"
whenever I use the VMS symbolic debugger.   DECterm doesn't have this issue.

Hmm. You can enable the VT200 functions in xterm, but I seem to remember that you explicitly have to do it. It has (so far in my experience) also been flawless, with the exception that it does not support the soft font.
