I have worked with ascii terminals for over 35 years running terminals on Zenix then Unix with 8 port serial cards, Running code written in cobol85 to the modern Linux that ran the Cobol with acucobol and away with serial with the faster network terminal connections.

Would like to see this software ported to a raspberry pi b4 with network setups and usb ports being able to accommodate usb printers,

I know this can be done all from Raspbian BUT simple C code with pi os lite on a B4 would be great for people still using cobol text apps n these modern times

This makes no sense (IMHO). This software is specific to a RP2040. On rp4b and other raspberry computer you have lots of other terminal emulators already available, even "better" one, with even more flexibility, optional utf8 support and higher resolution.

But even the basic linux console on rpi can do all VersaTerm is doing and even more.
