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:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/vttest/
The VTTEST program does not test any features of the VT220 or above, nor of esoteric VT models like VT125, VT131, etc. (Update: newer versions of VTTEST have been created since this page was written).
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:
