What is VersaTerm-PRO?

Terminal app, emulates Tek 4105, DEC VT 220, Tek 4014, DG D200

---

The PRO in VersaTerm-PRO indicates power, not level of difficulty. VersaTerm-PRO and its fewer-featured cousin, VersaTerm, have long and rightfully been known for their superb mainframe- and minicomputer-emulation abilities, and they are the choice of many power telecommunicators. The latest version of PRO is the first telecom package to use Apple’s Communications Toolbox, with its add-on modules. This version includes a Serial module and is ready for all new connect ion and file-transfer tools.

Also available are “pop-up” keyboards that let users effectively use terminals that require far more extensive keyboards than they physically have. Xmodem, Ymodem, and Kermit file transfers are fully supported. About the only major telecom feature missing is an extensive command or scripting language.

Performance is excellent — even better than that of earlier versions. VT220 support is just about perfect, as is Tektronix 4105 and 4014 support. If you don’t have to have fully automated operation, VersaTerm-PRO is worth a look. A solid, functional, and versatile telecommunications package like this is a necessity.
