QTERM
This is a revision of Craig Bishop's rewrite of Michael Cooper's program
to determine the terminal type by sending one or more strings and
interpreting the responses. Enhancements over the previous version
(which appeared in comp.sources.unix as v12i025) are:
It has a manual page.
It allows a default terminal type to be specified if the terminal is not
recognized.
It recognizes octal escapes in the send and receive strings, allowing
the Wyse 50 to be recognized.
It uses getopt.
The code has been cleaned up and more comments added.

(From the previous README:)
Qterm is particularly valuable in port selector and terminal server
environments. Most terminals can respond to the standard ANSI query
sequences; others which cannot will often do answerback.
If you find any bugs please report them to me.
