I'll fix them in the next version. I've been using Per Lindberg and Thomas E. Dickey's "vttest" program to test VT compatibility, but there's a lot of areas that vttest doesn't test (particularly for the VT420) - and also a lot of areas where I cannot be absolutely sure my Windows version (actually a Cygwin version) of vttest behaves correctly. Vttest relies partly on functionality provided by the Unix tty device (e.g. it uses stty to enable/disable host echo, to perform inbound and outbound CR/LF translation etc). I've compared the terminal emulator against xterm, and (apart from a few cases where xterm itself fails the vttest) the results are identical. Does anyone know how xterm stacks up against the official DEC compatibility test ?. Ross.
