Best Emulation Lite 1.3

Terminal Emulation

BestEmulation Lite emulates DEC VT100 and VT220 terminals. Supports ANSI and SCO ANSI color.

BestEmulation Lite allows a Macintosh to be used as a terminal – connected to a host computer with a serial connection or by modem. The emulators support video attributes such as dim, reverse, underline, 132-column modes and graphic characters sent from the host computer. Features include phone list and dialer for modems, on-screen programmable function keys, connection scripts and more.

Connectivity

1. Modem
2. Serial ports via USB to Serial adaptor

Scroll Back

You can scroll back to the past 40 pages of data. BestEmulation remembers the last 40 pages that appear on your screen, regardless of whether the data has scrolled across the screen or the screen has cleared. Video attributes such as inverse and underline are also saved, including colors. This means that you can use the scroll bar to scroll back to previous screens to look at the data or print a scrolled-back page or copy a selection into the clipboard.

AppleScript Support

BestEmulation Lite supports AppleScript commands. Many functions can be controlled by a script (such as transferring data to and from the host, sending commands to the host and messages to the BestEmulation user). Scripts compiled as applications can be run from "Run AppleScript" under the Special Menu. For instance, you can write a script to transfer data from the host to a file on your Macintosh and then tell another application to open that file.
