Vintage Terminal

Use a terminal in style, like in the good old days! Vintage Terminal is a terminal emulator that simulates the looks of a 1980s monitor.

Vintage Terminal requires the SDL library, the AO library and libconfig++.

Vintage Terminal has the following features:

• Full terminal capabilities implemented;
• Scaling (zoom) with the argument -s;
• Window resize/maximize;
• Full screen (CTRL + F11) and full screen with 80 columns (CTRL + SHIFT + F11);
• UNICODE support (no unicode font yet);
• Terminal rollback;
• Mouse support (new in 0.5.0);
• Has a authentic old look based on a IBM 5151 monitor.

This is a very early alpha release, so is not yet for the faint of heart. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The following features are planned, in no particular order:

• Different colors for the monochrome monitor (ambar, blue, gray...)
• Different types of old monitors (DEC terminals, TV...)
• Ability to configure every aspect of the image
• MS-DOS console emulation for Windows

Vintage Terminal has only been tested on Linux so far. Some people reported that is works on MacOSX also -- see INSTALL file for details.
