As dead as it looks, it's still what I'm using today... Just a Putty
login to start a good old VMS session manage,r and I'm in business.
Mostly DECterms, but also LSE. I must admit that the lack of support
for the mouse wheel in DECterm sucks. Otherwise it's still the terminal
that best fits my needs. Oh, and on the PC side, still using Excursion
too. Free, works all the time, even on my Windows 10 PC. What I miss is
the VT emulator that DEC made a long time ago. Was that VT320.EXE ? Can
it still be found somewhere ?
