Several do a reasonable job - I posted a message about them before I think...
Communicator (still commercially available, although expensive), Termulator
(not so exciting for vt100, still available), Uniterm...Plenty of vt52
terminal emulations around too...Kermit for a start.

Its a pretty minor piece of terminal software...it probably supports most of
vt52 on a good day. If you send it vt100 stuff then it tends to beep a lot at
most stuff (although screen remains intact), so its advisable to turn the
sound off! Good enuff for a minimal dumb/vt52 requirements, but not exactly
comprehensive...I believe the master manual(s) may mention a few sentences
or so on the topic (can't remember)...

Richard.
