This product includes 20 different terminal emulator packages. The sources are included. Some are relatively simple and some are quite complex. Some address a very specific specification, while others are fairly generalized. There is more here for UNIX and Linux users than anyone else, but some packages also have Windows versions, and of course, there is the source. Naturally, I can not guarantee that any package will suit a particular purpose.
I have included some documentation, where possible. In addition, packages contain documentation at varying levels of thoroughness, which you will see when you expand the archives in which they are stored. Note that there are various archive formats, which generally are appropriate to the area of applicability of the contents. The distributions are typically in the form of compressed archives, and it is assumed that the purchaser is prepared to apply programs such as PKUNZIP, WinZip for Windows, gunzip and tar for Linux, etc.
| Wy60 - A a curses-based terminal emulator of the Wyse 60 terminal. It can be run from within any conventional terminal emulator, such as xterm, Linux text terminal, etc. It dynamically translates between Wyse 60 escape sequences and the escape sequences of the hosting emulator. It was written in C and by Markus Gutschke. The package is applicable to Linux/UNIX, and Windows. Further information can be found at http://gutschke.com/wy60/. |
| BLURT (Bloody Lame Useless Redundant Terminal) - A terminal emulator for X, like the popular program `xterm'. It is meant to be as small as possible, while still supporting a reasonable set of useful features. Written by Ivo Timmermans. Further information can be found at http://www.lychnis.net/files/blurt/ |
| tn5250 - A program is a 5250 terminal emulator, used for connecting to IBM's AS/400 (eServer iSeries). The emulator supports color, 132 column mode, and most other features found in 5250 terminals and Client Access' 5250 emulator. While tn5250 is text-based, it is distributed with a script to run it in an xterm. It was written by Michael Madore; more information can be found at http://tn5250.sourceforge.net/ |
| PowerShell - A GNOME/Gtk+-based terminal emulator which supports many terminals in a single window. Each terminal is given a "notebook" tab which makes switching between terminals easy. It was written by Matt Spong. More information is available at http://powershell.sourceforge.net/ |
| microcom - A program similar to minicom. It is a serial terminal emulator with scripting support. The microcom executable is only 17K. It was written by Lucian Jurubita. See http://microcom.port5.com/ |
| xterm - The standard terminal emulator for the X Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities, xterm will use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized. By T.E.Dickey. |
| ggiterm - A software terminal emulator like xterm. However instead of X, it uses the GGI system for its rendering, which allows it to be displayed on anything from a framebuffer to multi-screens across networked hosts (including ordinary X sessions). It features multiple font formats, anti-aliasing, vt100 compatibility, and full internationalization. Written by Aurélien Reynaud. http://ggiterm.sourceforge.net |
| GTerm - A terminal emulator package in two parts. The GTerm core is a terminal emulator that knows how to process VT102 and VT52, but it does not have any interfacing to I/O devices. It has hooks for that. The second part is an example of the use of GTerm that provides much of the functionality of an xterm, but it will probably only run under Linux because it uses Linux-specific BSD-type pty's. By Timothy Miller. |
| wterm - An unofficial development branch of rxvt which adds NeXT style scrollbars, transparent backgrounds with optional shading, and other additions. Unlike many other efforts, wterm aims to have its changed merged back into the parent rxvt rather than forking off yet another seperate terminal emulator. Background transparency and the new NeXT-style scrollbars have since been accepted into the main rxvt tree. Written by Geoff Wing et al, Alfredo Kojima, the Anonymous Coder, and others. http://largo.windowmaker.org/files.php#wterm |
| glterm (3Dterm) - A terminal-emulator which uses GLF and GLUT. It emulates rxvt in a quite unconventional manner. http://glterm.sourceforge.net/ |
| picocom - A minimal dumb-terminal emulation program. It is ideal for embedded systems since its memory footprint is minimal (less than 20K, when stripped). Apart from being a handy little tool, the source distribution includes a simple, easy to use, and thoroughly documented terminal-management library. By Nick Patavalis. http://efault.net/npat/hacks/picocom |
| IBM 3270 Terminal Applications Suite - Five applications. x3270 is an IBM 3278/3279 Terminal Emulator for the X Window System. c3270 is curses-based 3278/3279 emulator with many more features than tn3270. s3270 is a script-based screen-scraping application for IBM hosts. tcl3270 is a Tcl- or Extended Tcl-based IBM host screen-scraping language. pr3287 is an IBM 3287 printer emulator, which can be invoked from x3270 or c3270, or can run standalone as a daemon. x3270, c3270, s3270 and tcl3270 can emulate a color (3279) or monochrome (3278) terminal. They implement the TN3270E protocol, support IND$FILE file transfer, printing via 3287 emulation, and multiple host character sets (including non-Latin sets). They are all highly customizable.

| JCTerm - An SSH2 terminal emulator written in pure Java. It supports port forwarding, X11 forwarding, etc. http://www.jcraft.com/jcterm/ |
| asq - A simple frontend for MAME/emulator cabinets. It runs in a terminal window using curses, and pops up an optional screenshot window. It uses MAME/emulator keybindings so you can control your MAME cabinet using just your MAME controls. (In fact, this is where the name comes from--player 2 buttons 1, 2, and 3 are "asq".) It can also remap your games to use MAME keys. asq is meant for people who don't want to use a keyboard and have lots of games to manage. http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/asq/ |
| mlterm - A multilingual terminal emulator on X11 which supports various character sets and encodings and complex characters such as double width for East Asian, combining for Thai, Vietnamese, bi-direction for Arabic and Hebrew and Indic scripts in ISCII encoding is being experimentally supported. |
| rxvt - A color vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a result, rxvt uses much less swap space. |
| iTerm - An enhanced terminal emulator program for MacOS X written in Objective-C. It features VT100/ANSI/XTERM emulation, full i18n support, multi-tab and other convenient GUI features. |
| aterm - The X Terminal Emulator. It derives from rxvt 2.4.8, and represents an attempt to provide user with complete control over its look. Features include fast transparency with shading and tinting, NeXTish scrollbar, fading when unfocused and more. |
| Eterm - A color vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm replacement. It is designed with a Freedom of Choice philosophy, leaving as much power, flexibility, and freedom as possible in the hands of the user. |
| PHPterm - A terminal/shell emulator for PHP which let's one execute shell commands just like in a shell, but all within your browser window over the HTTP protocol. |
