Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC) was one of the largest manufacturers of Mainframe computers in the world particularly during the 1970's and 80's when it competed against industry giant IBM with some success. The operating systems that ran on DEC mainframes were predominantly UNIX or DEC's proprietary offering, VMS.
Given its prominent market position, DEC's VT series of terminals have become very widely supported and imitated. The VT100 terminal in particular, became something of a standard, partly due to its implementation of an ANSI standard (ANSI X3.64) designed to standardize the sequences used to control functions and text output options, otherwise known as escape codes. It also had a very distinct, unique form.
Turbosoft DEC Terminal Emulators
The VT series remains a popular choice amongst users of terminal emulation software. This means that Turbosoft’s implementations, including our popular VT100 terminal emulation, have been thoroughly tested over the years.
You can rely on high quality, accurate VT emulations from Turbosoft products, allowing you to access legacy systems via modern workstations. Not only does this software emulate the original terminal functions, it also enhances those terminals, allowing your team to work in a familiar way that significantly improves user experience.
What Turbosoft Offers for DEC Terminal Emulation
Our terminal emulators deliver the precision and performance you need to gain maximum usage out of your host system, extending its capabilities without compromising its core capabilities.
Turbosoft's terminal emulator for Windows offers support for a number of DEC terminals, delivering quality and accuracy. From the VT52 through to the VT100 emulator series (including the VT101 and VT102) through to the more advanced terminal VT220, the VT320 terminal, the VT340 terminal and finally the VT420 terminal.
