VTTest Scenarios

Qodem strives to have very good VT100 style emulation. Due to its platform it cannot quite reach every feature seen in the excellent xterm, but it does have some surprises in store. Below are some of the most important vttest screens that many other terminal emulators have trouble handling. Some examples of terminal emulators that have issues on these screens include putty, konsole, gnome-terminal, rxvt, the raw Linux console, minicom, ProComm Plus 4.8, Qmodem, and QmodemPro for Windows.

These screen captures were produced by running Qodem inside itself: the "outer" Qodem is using X_UTF8 emulation, the "inner" Qodem is using VT102. This demonstrates the resilience of both emulations: in order for the screen to look right, Qodem must be able to handle both the vttest output for VT102 and the xterm terminfo sequences used by ncurses.
