See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge People from PCS have rewritten xterm from scratch using a multi-widget approach that can be used by applications. Emu supports features like color, blinking text/cursors. Emulations can be added on the fly; one emulation provided is for the Vt220. Version 1.3 is on ftp.x.org and on the R6 contrib tape. For more information, contact emu@pcs.com. A modification of xterm that supports ANSI color is in ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/. A set of modifications for color support to xterm is on ftp.x.org in xterm_color.diffs.Z. mxterm, a Motif-based xterm is available from the Paderborner ftp-Server ftp@uni-paderborn.de (131.234.2.32), file /unix/X11/more_contrib/mxterm.tar.Z. A version is also on ftp.x.org, as is apparently a set of color modifications. The Color Terminal Widget provides ANSI-terminal emulation compatible with the VTx00 series; a version is on ftp.x.org in R5contrib/CTW-1.1.tar.Z. kterm is an X11R4-based vt100/vt102 (and Tektronix 4014) terminal emulator that supports display of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text (in VT mode). Also supported are: ANSI color sequences, multi-byte word selection, limited Compound Text support, and tab and newline preservation in selections. kterm 4.1.2 is also available from these anonymous ftp sites: clr.nmsu.edu:pub/misc/kterm-4.1.2.tar.Z [128.123.1.14] ftp.x.org:R5contrib/kterm-5.2.0.tar.Z mterm, by mouse@larry.McRCIM.McGill.EDU, is an X terminal emulator which includes ANSI X3.64 and DEC emulation modes. mterm can be had by ftp to collatz.mcrcim.mcgill.edu (132.206.78.1), in X/mterm.src/mterm.ball-o-wax. rxvt is a terminal emulator supporting color. It is available at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/xutils/terms/ . color_xterm is available from ftp.x.org. Cxterm is a Chinese xterm, which supports both GB2312-1980 and the so-called Big-5 encoding. Hanzi input conversion mechanism is builtin in cxterm. Most input methods are stored in external files that are loaded at run time. Users can redefine any existing input methods or create their own ones. The X11R5 cxterm is the rewritten of cxterm (version 11.5.1) based on X11R5 xterm; it is in the R5 contrib software. [thanks to Zhou Ning <zhou@tele.unit.no> and Steinar Bang <uunet!idt.unit.no!steinarb>.] XVT is available on ftp.x.org's R5contrib in xvt-1.0.tar.Z and xvt-1.0.README. It is designed to offer xterm's functionality with lower swap space and may be of particular use on systems driving many X terminals. A second version, 2.0, is on unix.hensa.ac.uk in misc/unix/xvt/xvt-2.0.tar.Z (see also xvt-2.0.patch[12]). x3270 is in ftp.x.org contrib/applications/x3270. The typescript application and inset in the Andrew User Interface System offers a shell script interface. It does not provide curses support, but does permit general cut/copy/paste to construct commands or extract a portion of the log. hanterm (2.0), by jksong@cosmos.kaist.ac.kr, is an xterm modified to support Hangul (Korean writing system) input/output. It's available at several Korean archives(cair.kaist.ac.kr,kum.kaist.ac.kr,etc) and seoul.caltech.edu in the US. This version makes obsolete an older version not based on xterm. Another experimental hanterm implementation, hanterm (3.0 alpha), is underway by Chang Hyeong-Kyu at chk@ssp.etri.re.kr; it was written to support a 3-byte Hangul code (dictionary ordered), which can compose all possible Hangul characters. A GenTerm widget is on iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu. It contains a pty widget which can be attached to a shell. Note that the vt100 emulation hasn't been that well tested. Also: The Brixton 3270 Client offers full support of 3270 Open Client standards, as well as TN3270E, the first and only open standard for 3270 connectivity over TCP/IP networks. TN3270E is an upgrade to older TN3270 and TN3287 (RFC1646) specifications. The key additions include host-controlled, guaranteed print, end-to-end acknowledgment of data, system request and attention keys, and RTM. It also supports standard file transfer and program-to-program communications interfaces including IND$FILE, EHLLAPI, and Macro Language. Information: sales@cnt.com or 1-800-BRIXTON. Brixton 5250 Client supports 5250 Open Client and TN5250 standards, as well as 5250 client for access to IBM midrange servers. The package also supports LU6.2 3812 printing for AS/400tm systems. Peer-to-peer LU6.2 sessions also support 5250 file transfer from AS/400 physical and logical databases. Information: sales@cnt.com or 1-800-BRIXTON. IBM sells a 3270 emulator for the RS/6000 (part #5765-011); it's based on Motif. Century Software (801-268-3088) sells a VT220 terminal emulator for X. VT102, Wyse 50 and SCO Color Console emulation are also available. Grafpoint's TGRAF-X provides emulation of Tektronix 4107, 4125, and 42xx graphics terminals; it's available for most major platforms.

IXI's X.deskterm, a package for integrating character-based applications into an X environment, includes a number of terminal-emulation modules. Information: +44 (0223) 462131. [5/90] Pericom produces Teem-X, a set of several emulation packages for a number of Tek, DEC, Westward, and Data General terminals. The software runs on Sun 3, Sun 4, Apollo, DEC, ISC, IBM/AIX. Information: US: 609-895-0404, UK: +44 (0908) 560022. See also http://www.pericom-usa.com .
