Pros and cons of the various terminal emulations can be debated ad nauseum and ad infinitum. I have iTerm and iTerm2, and Terminal.app on OS X. Both of the iTerm pass the preliminary VTTEST suites but they both fail miserably when asked to do the DECSWL and DECDHL tests. Terminal.app renders both DECSWL and DECDHL rather well. Neither of them will do DECELR and DECSLE. However, in their defense, none of the unix/linux default xterm appear to do them either. I've built xterm from source and there are switches which will enable these. I've not found the ideal combination yet of all of the build switches to make xterm do all of the things I can now accomplish with a real VT terminal or DECterminal. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
