Open Source Desktop Operating Systems Terminals

tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached. This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. tmux depends on libevent 2.x, and on ncurses. To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed. Some platforms provide binary packages for tmux.

empty - run applications under pseudo-terminal (PTY) sessions to dialogue with interactive programs. Replace TCL/Expect with a simple tool and use your favorite shell (sh, bash, csh, tcsh, ksh, zsh, etc)

TinTin++ is a console mud client for any type of text mud or bbs. The mud client's main assets are an easy to learn scripting language, triggers, automapping, and a split screen interface to separate mud output from client input. Installation instructions for Android, iOS, and several other operating systems are available on the website. https://tintin.mudhalla.net

dtach is a program that emulates the detach feature of screen. It is designed to be transparent and un-intrusive; it avoids interpreting the input and output between attached terminals and the program under its control.

mlterm is a multi-lingual terminal emulator , which supports various character sets and encodings in the world.

LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient are cross-platform C libraries that allow you to easily implement VNC server or client functionality in your program.

ClusterSSH controls a number of xterm windows via a single graphical console window to allow commands to be interactively run on multiple servers over an ssh connection.

SSHDOS is a DOS port of SSH, SCP, SFTP and Telnet clients. Needs a packet driver (or a PPP driver for dialup connection) only. There are two separate packages for SSH1 and for SSH2.

Etherboot is Open Source code for creating boot ROMs for network booting x86, AMD64, Itanium, Hammer, Hyperstone and ARM (noMMU) platforms.

Twin is a text-mode window environment. It supports mouse and multiple windows, has a built-in terminal emulator and window manager, and can serve as display for client applications. Its retro look-and-feel comes with very modern features: it is best described as a VNC-like server, that can use a variety of displays - all with mouse support: from a plain text terminal, to a Linux console, to a full kde, gnome or X11 desktop.

Mrxvt is a multi-tabbed X terminal emulator based on rxvt. It is portable, lightweight and fast. It supports psuedo-transparency, background image (JPEG/PNG/XPM), tinting, NeXT/Rxvt/Xterm/SGI style scrollbar, multi-languages (CJK), XIM, freetype font...

basE91 is an advanced method for encoding binary data as ASCII characters. It is similar to UUencode or base64, but is more efficient. The overhead produced by basE91 depends on the input data. It amounts at most to 23% and can range down to 14%.

It is the same as the basic "ECHO" command, but now.., with COLOR! echo messages in color. http://www.softpedia.com/progClean/Echoc-Clean-207636.html

FuTTY is a fork of PuTTY and PuTTYTray.

smartCOM is a graphical serial device terminal, it's an alternative to minicom. It is aimed mainly at hardware developers who need a gui test tools to talk to their custom hardware. The GUI is written using the wxWidgets library, and using the tinyxml to save or load config. http://gnssinfo.com/2012/11/21/wiki-smartcom/

This is a final-year programming project aimed to build a terminal emulator for Videotex (Viewdata) over a 2400 baud dial-up modem connection. This project won a little award from Hong Kong Computer Society. Borland's Turbo C for DOS 2.0 was the programming tool.

ICMP Shell (ISH) is a telnet-like protocol. It allows users to connect to a remote host and to open a shell using only ICMP to send and receive data. ICMP Shell was written in C for the UNIX environment.

(Graphical Edition Released, BreezyCalc: http://breezycalc.sourceforge.net/) Lincalc is a console calculator designed to provide a quick and simple interface to a very powerful engine. Its parser is based on muParser <http://muparser.sourceforge.net/>. It supports user-defined variables, logical operators for conditions, and a wide range of mathematical functions each calculation that is made is stored in a result variable (Ans1, Ans2..) and can be referenced in equations. It also supports evaluation of multiple equations each separated by a ','. Conditional Statements: -- Ex. (condition) ? (true val) : (false val) Logic Operators: -- && (and), || (or) Comparison Operators: -- <= (less than or equal to) -- >= (greater than or equal to) -- < (less than), > (greater than) -- != (not equal to), == (equal to) Functions: abs, exp, sqrt, avg, sum, min, max, sign, rint, ln, log10, log2, sin, sinh, asin, asinh, cos, cosh, acos, acosh, tan, tanh, acos, acosh

Program Manager Eternity is an application for launching applications in DOS. Mainly, It is for the still very active FreeDOS platform. It is built on top of the newly created QuickCrt object-oriented framework for Turbo Pascal 7.0.

pr3287w is a IBM 3287 printer emulation for MS-Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/2003 based in open source code pr3287 avaliable at http://x3270.bgp.nu/download.html. It was totally rewrited in C++ and added a new interface.

qsh is a shell for any operating system. It is coded in java so it inherits the pros and cons of java. It is in a very nascent stage, but all the regular commands work: Directory navigation, file tasks etc.
