       | Impressive work, regardless

         | Apple's Terminal.app does an outstanding job of pretending to
         | be a VT-200 terminal.
         | 
         | OTOH, this one is self contained. Still pretends the terminal
         | is attached through a serial port, but it's emulated in the
         | app.
         | 
         | It's a shame Apple doesn't make the Terminal.app engine
         | available to developers.

           | 
           |  _Sigh._ Add it to the pile of  "things Apple really ought to
           | open source just to give back to the community that they used
           | to build the worlds most successful business from"
