DEC VT100 Terminal






Bernd Paysan wrote:

There are several ways to interface with terminals, which
aren't really portable outside the Unix world, and some
are marked obsolete. vt100 is more common than termcap/
terminfo. And vt100 is an ANSI standard.

ANSI X3.64, ISO/IEC 6429, ECMA-48, and SCO-ANSI.
