=====================
Its long description:
This is a program to test the compatibility (or to demonstrate the 
non-compatibility) of so-called "VT100-compatible" terminals. In 
conformance of the good old hacker traditions, the only documentation of 
this program is the source code itself. To understand it, you also need 
a copy of the original VT100 manual from DEC.
.
Additional tests (past version 1.7) are provided for analysis of vt220, 
vt420 terminals, as well as variants of xterm.
=====================

I have no idea how to write all this into a short description.

I think it is too long for "a program to test the compatibility of 
terminals for VT100, VT220, and VT420".

Any good ideas?
