Re: [MiNT] Official Atari console app terminal standard?

Hello all,

is VT52 (Atari style) still a common ground for FreeMinT console apps or
is it considered to be bad style?

In my opinion vt100 is never needed, all you need can all be done by vt52, those advanced terminal-features have been introduced at a time when CPU and bandwidth were expensive, so more work could be done by the terminal. Also vt100 is not very good documented.

But what do I know ..
