Just would like to state that in Windows-land PuTTY does an excellent
job of emulating the VT-100; even doing the dual-wide and dual-height
characters (which I don't think I've seen done in others before... at
least other emulators in Windows).
PuTTY is pretty good, but if you ever use ZEMU on a PDP-11, there is one
PuTTY incompatibility that will bite you. PuTTYs handling of cursor
movement around the wrap position is different than a VT100.
As for double width and double height, xterm does it just fine. In fact,
xterm is the only implementation that I don't know of any
incompatibilities in.
