I'm actually running an old CIT-101 from c.itoh. The pdp11 is currently
just simh on a raspberry pi, but I have a lot of pdp11 hardware in various
states of disrepair. my 11/73 ran 2.11bsd nicely has a burned out power
supply and I haven't been able to fix it.
I checked out the curses man page in 2.11 and tried to use curses clear,
but it really does tack on a lot of overhead & slows things down. So I'm
now tempted to just cheat, keep it simple, find a simple escape string that
works on real vt100s as well as xterms, etc. and just printf it.

Ah - that makes sense, and since VT-100 are not fully
ANSI, that's likely
why it's not listed in my circa 1976 VT-100 programmers manual and probably
why it does not work for Jacob. ;-)

The sequence ESC-c is ANSI X3.64 for "reset

happens to clear the screen, among other things. I still use it
