VT100 emulation resources collection

This page lists some files and sites I found helpful when developing ESPTerm.

Web references

• An invaluable resource in my research was the website vt100.net which provides original manuals for many VT models.
• The Xterm manual page also proved immensely useful. I even made a copy of it with highlighted differences and missing features in ESPTerm.
• Some sequences can also be found in the GNU Screen manual page
• Application Keys Mode became clear after reading this page: www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO-21.html.
• When trying to understand what codes should be sent by function and control keys, this page provided some great insight: invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm-function-keys.html

Collected files and memos

Those are useful documents collected from various fileservers and university home folders that I decided to preserve here for reference should the original sources disappear (unfortunately that happens, and rare historical information like this is lost).

• vt100.codes.txt
• bjh21_all-escapes.txt
• joesmith1984-ansicode.txt
• shuford_terminal_vt100_codes_news.txt
• VT100 escape codes.html
• Locator Input Model for ANSI Terminals (sixth revision).html

Here are files I compiled from elsewhere:

• codepage437.txt - DOS codepage 437 (Unicode point, Symbol, DOS ASCII code)
