Off the top of my head, I can name at least two dozen easy-to-install
free terminal emulators for Windows. There are probably a great many
more than that.
Is PuTTY not available for WEENDOZE???
On Mac OS X and Linux, it does a failrly reasonable job of digesting the
VT200 series escape sequences and even does DECSWL and DECDHL correctly.
If you want to test your emulator, telnet to
great-escape.tmesis.com and
log in with VTTEST -- no password. It's a captive account that runs the
VTTEST suite.
Brian,
You have a working binary for PuTTY on OS X? I'm forced to use Windows for work
and I use PuTTY every day there. I'd love to have a copy for my home Macs. Where is
it available?
