In 1980 I wrote the terminal emulation suite Mightycom and I developed it for many years. It was a very powerful terminal program that supported many terminals like: TTY, VT52, VT100, ANSI-BBS, Videotext, Teletel and Cept, supported a lot of file transfer protocols like: Xmodem, and Zmodem. I used the VT100 emulation on Digital Vax 11/750 VMS systems. It also had an internal software MNP / MNP5 stack and an internal software V42 / V42Bis stack, as well as an internal software TCI/CP stack. It also supported fully self-configurable COM port (hardware) setting.

It could send and receive FAX and has a build in scripting language interpreter to automate all the internal function in a script. (MSL Mightycom Script Language) It supported all kinds of graphics cards from CGA to VGA. It will run under any DOS version and it is a typical MS-DOS program. It will run on anu PC / PC-XT or PC-AT computer and the software supports the Dutch / English and French language. The large manual is only in Dutch.

I was the only programmer /  developer on this program and it is written in plain C language and 8088 assembler (interrupt driver / overlay manager / memory manager). The software was a free addition to the modems we developed and sold, the last version was also sold as a separate product. I was working for Micro Technology at that time and the software was copyrighted. But the company does no longer exist and the software is about 40 years old so I decided to make it available for all MS-DOS fans. You can download the original disk content as a single zip file.
