I have to admit, I’m watching this with interest. Hopefully I can see about getting this up and running one of these days.
I find myself wondering what it would take to build this on a Mac, the current Mac xterm *SUCKS*!!! On the Mac, I can’t seem to use the custom DEC keybindings. Actually does DECterm support either Sixel and ReGIS? I’m dead on my feet, so won’t power up my VAXstation 4000/90 and look.
