This seems to me like yet another "if you want VFAT install MagiC"
kind of cop-off. Stop it. It's about time our vcons and TosWin give
true VT100 or VT102 support. 

On one hand, I'm glad you and Christian work on improving TosWin and 
vcons. On the other, I'm sick of the focus on Falcon-specific hardware
and the denial of world-wide realities supported by every OS on other 
platforms, such as VT100/VT102/ANSI terms and VFAT storage media.

Sorry if I seem blunt, but stv52 and tw100 are NOT true vt100.
