Vt100 tester

I was thinking it sounds awesome too. I'd love to see something like this, but my VMS coding is nowhere near good enough to try.

My plan is to extend this to system library calls for all common calling standard languages. The cataloging side is done I just need to add some umph to the results (hyperlinking everything together).
