<title>The VTTEST VT100/102 Terminal Emulation Test</title>
</head><body>
<h3>The VTTEST VT100/102 Terminal Emulation Test</h3>

The VTTEST program was written in 1983-85 by Per Lindberg of Stockholm
University in Sweden to exercise and test all the features of a Digital
Equipment Corporation (DEC) VT100 or VT102 terminal or software that emulates
one of these terminals.  Incidentally, the primary additional feature of the
VT102 terminal over the VT100 is character insertion and deletion, important in
text-editing applications (like vi or EMACS), especially on slow connections.
<p>
You may obtain the C-language source code for the VTTEST program by ftp,
compile it on your UNIX system (or adapt it to others), and run the tests
yourself:
<p>
<a href="ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/vttest/">
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/vttest/</a>
<p>
The VTTEST program does not test any features of the VT220 or above,
nor of esoteric VT models like VT125, VT131, etc.  A VT220/320 test suite
similar to VTTEST would be most welcome, but none seems to exist.
<p>
The following sheet may be used to administer the test.  There are 100
points, plus 10 possible extra-credit points, so the highest possible
score would be 110.  To minimize confusion and promote fairness, begin with
your emulator set to:
<ul>
<li>VT102 (or, if no VT102, then VT100) emulation;
<li>24 rows by 80 columns;
<li>Light foreground on dark background;
<li>Answerback enabled.
</ul>
