That's true about the features, I only implemented a subset of
possibilities, and mostly that's on purpose. For example, there's no
FTP, minimal IND$FILE, no HLLAPI, no GDDM (although I did try once with
help from the 3270 stream master, Greg Price). No SNA printing, no
5250, and just enough standard telnet to hopefully get you through a
firewall. No 3290 partitions. No linear Copy, only block.
Tabs (mentioned here), I would like to do, but because of the single
(giant) internal control block I used it's pretty difficult. So I keep
saying I'll do that, "tomorrow".
For fonts, I chose old style bitmapped (raster) fonts because at the
time with Win 3.1 and small screens True-Types were difficult to read.
So I spent many weeks each evening with my wife coming home from work
wondering why I'm clicking dots in a font editor. Anyone can have those
fonts if you want (just email me), but they are useless unless the
emulator has a bitmap font option - rare these days I would think. I do
have a True-Type version that I offer to folks in cases where the bitmap
fonts are too limiting.
Sorry to steal your post Skip :) I'm trying to avoid replying here
because I don't want it to look like a promotion.

I can't promise that Vista has all the functions discussed in this thread, but
in the years that I've used it, I've seen Tom add a lot of new variations. I
suggest that curious cats spend a few minutes exploring the 'Paste Functions'
enumerated under the Edit menu. Several of those were provided to handle
unusual situations that are not strictly 'editing' but rather a means of
transferring data displayed by one App into another possible unrelated App.
These functions are possible because 'copy' takes some part of a delineated
display, strips out all formatting indicators, and (re)builds a 'paste' buffer
according to the requirements of the function being invoked. If it doesn't work
as desired, Tom is famous for implementing new function.

Linea meaning wrapping, i.e., copying consequtive buffer locations without
regard to line boundaries. Both block and linear copies are useful, and it's
nice to have both.

Here's an example of a block copy in Vista. What's a linear copy? You mean,
without regard to line endings? No, I don't think so. You could certainly use
your favorite stream-oriented editor to remove the line endings.

What about a linear copy?
