FCterm - color terminal emulator

About

FCTerm is a terminal emulator. First written many years ago - circa 1990, since X11/XTerm had no support for color at that time. It allowed the CRiSP Editor (http://www.crispeditor.co.uk) to be bootstrapped into full GUI land, back when the choices for building GUI's were in their very earliest stages of creeping out of their childhood years.

FCTerm has always been fast - occasionally surveying the competitors, but also, merging in the key desirable features. FCTerm supports

  • freetype fonts
  • color
  • multiple tabs
  • auto-restart
  • restore of screen content and working directory
  • resizable / relayout of screens
  • grouping
  • infinite scrollback
  • searching
  • multi window mode
  • asciicast session recording
  • theme support

The original code was built for the X11/Athena widgets, which have long since been deprecated; a version was built for Motif, but, that too has been deprecated. So, it runs with its own toolkit, which is crude (ie the right-menu popup menu).

Use "fcterm -help" and "fcterm help" to see the interactive commands.
