Thank you to everyone who has responded to both my VT100 and BINSCII
questions.  Below is a summary of responses for those who were
interested in them.  Again, thanks!

===== SUMMARY OF RESPONSES ABOUT VT100 EMULATION SOFTWARE =====

From: Wui Chong Chang <chang@ee.ualberta.ca>

Try Zlink and Agate69. They both emulate vt100 and are shareware.
Can be found at most of the Apple's FTP sites.

It's a commercial program, but the best term program you can get in my
opinion is ProTERM. It's definitely worth the money.  I think it's better
than all other term programs I've seen on *any* computer.

From: Sam Coulombe <sdcoulom@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca>

Z-Link is the best I've seen. It has the most protocols (Y-Modem Batch) being
the best, and it emulates vt-100 and some other type I never use.
I have a copy if you are interested, reply to: sdcoulom@descartes.waterloo.edu

From: jemorti@relay.nswc.navy.mil (Jack Mortimer - K31)

Try Kermit. It seems like they have a version for most machines.
Their VT100 emulation is ok and they are compatible with Hayes.
I do not have a site to recommend. Try using archie.  Good luck

Try Zlink at cco.caltech.edu or apple2.archive.umich.edu
Nifty program...also Kermit does VT-100 too, and pretty well...considering
it's free.

Mousetalk will work for you.  Try getting a used copy.

Kermit will meet your requirements.  Columbia University
(WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU) is the official repository for all versions
of Kermit.  In October, I became the "owner" of Kermit for the Apple
//.  I am in the process of getting version 3.88 ready for
distribution.  Both versions 3.87 and 3.88 are available by anonymous
FTP from CU.NIH.GOV (cd to APPLEII-KERMIT).  Version 3.87 is
available from Columbia.  There is very little difference between
3.87 and 3.88.

Kermit.  Watsun.cc.columbia.edu.  Free even.

From: ddkilzer@iastate.edu (David D. Kilzer)

ProTerm 3.0 is the best term program for the Apple //.  It has vt100
emulation plus a whole lot more!  Believe me, the $85 is WORTH IT!!
Heck, if you had PT3.0, you could have printed out the BINSCII program
to your screen, and then used PT3.0's scroll-back buffer to save the
text in a text file with normal carriage returns (instead of LF's) to
disk.  Then you could have EXEC the file without any problems.

From: grover@emunix.emich.edu (Grover Thomas)

Try Kermit, or better yet ProTerm 3.   There should be a ProTERM 3.0 demo
on ccosun.caltech.edu  or some other FTP site.
