That's true, but 4014 emulation still can't help with systems like the PDP-1 which had a built-in vector display or the VAX which often WAS equipped with an FB. Just because programs that used Tek 401x vector tubes work in Xterm doesn't mean that a solution to simulate other sorts of displays isn't a good idea.
Mike Also, aprt from Xterm, are there even any free Tek emulations around? Just like REGIS/Sixel support, Tek emulation seems to be a feature found only in expensive commercial programs.
