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.
