SYNOPSIS
This is a program to test the compatibility (or to demonstrate the
non-compatibility) of so-called "VT100-compatible" terminals. In
conformance of the good old hacker traditions, the only documentation
of this program is the source code itself. To understand it, you also
need a copy of the original VT100 manual from DEC.
Additional tests (past version 1.7) are provided for analysis of
vt220, vt420 terminals, as well as variants of xterm.
HISTORY
Vttest 1.7 was written in 1986 by
Per Lindberg at the Stockholm University Computing Center.
I began this version in mid-1996 to support changes that I am making to
xterm.
See the changelog for details.
