And I forgot to mention that vt220.ar was done on a 512k coco3 at my old 
office, one of those must work situations when the only vt-220 terminal we 
had, died and dec wanted about a kilobuck for a new vt-550.  I don't 
believe it needs more than 128k though.

IIRC I also put zmodem triggers in it too, however that may need more than 
128k to fork the rzsz stuffs.  Terminal proggies aren't a lot of good if you 
can't move files with them. ;)
