Evaluating this emulator is on my list of things to look at over the next
couple of weeks or so if I have some spare time.

One of the things that is putting me off evaluating it is the several other
packages that I have to download and install. For example, do you really
need Gnat 3.15p to build your emulator/Gnatcom/GWindows, or can you use
Gnat 3.14p ? I seem to recall seeing reports of several problems with 3.15p.

PS: Ross, you may like to be aware that VMS has a habit of breaking terminal
emulators; my fastest time for breaking an emulator when running it against
VMS is about 30 seconds... :-)

PPS: Larry's suggestion of using Notes is a good one; if an emulator is
going to break, I usually break it when trying to run it against TPU in EDT
keypad mode. If it survives that :-), I will give Notes a try.
