Eh? Those are viddotex/teletext systems aren't they? I thought the OP was talking about a character-based windowing and form-handling library used by applications that ran under VAX/VMS on vt200 terminals. The vt200 wasn't a TV. It was a character-based, mostly-ANSI-escape-sequence, computer terminal connected via async serial (RS-232 typically) to a mini/mainframe computer (a DEC VAX running VMS in this context). -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
