Thisterm terminal emulator
By Troy Rollo 1989
The thisterm terminal emulator is a minimum terminal
emulator for the apollo domains. This version has only
two control sequences:
Ctrl-L (ascii 0xc) clears the screen (pad)
An escape character followed by x+' ', y+' ' moves
to the given location in the pad.
Additional control sequences can be created by modifying
the xfread routine. The ones already installed can, of course
be modified.
Thisterm uses the pseudo tty device entries /dev/ptypb and
/dev/ttypb. An improved version would start at [pt]typ0 and work
up towards [pt]typf, allowing more than one thisterm
terminal emulator to run at once. It might also remove borders,
and use pad_$set_full_window and the current scale factor to
set the size of the window to match the size of the pseudo
screen.
To use this, first run thisterm, then set the environment variables:
MORE=-c
TERM=this
TERMCAP=your_termcap_path
