[Simh] An idea for graphics support in SIMH

[Michael Kerpan]

That's true, but 4014 emulation still can't help with systems like the
PDP-1 which had a built-in vector display or the VAX which often WAS
equipped with an FB. Just because programs that used Tek 401x vector
tubes work in Xterm doesn't mean that a solution to simulate other
sorts of displays isn't a good idea.

Also, aprt from Xterm, are there even any free Tek emulations around?
Just like REGIS/Sixel support, Tek emulation seems to be a feature
found only in expensive commercial programs.
