| From: James Knott via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | While not strictly Linux, this provides a choice of command prompts, including | Linux shells. It's also more configurable than the usual Windows terminals. | | Now, all it needs is a VAX/VMS shell. ;-) | | https://www.techrepublic.com/article/windows-terminal-everything-you-need-to-know-now/?ftag=TRE684d531&bhid=12825460&mid=12870752&cid=712355268 Thanks for the pointer. What a horribly intricate terminal program. The original Windows "cmd.exe" terminal was terrible. You could only size it to certain official sizes, and not on the fly. The Windows terminal for powershell.exe seems quite serviceable. I admit that my use has been limited so I might not have noticed important deficits. Based on my reading of that article, the new Windows terminal has a lot of feature, mostly bric-a-brac. And to configure it, sometimes you have to edit JSON. Wow. Somehow the Windows folks haven't absorved the philosophy of UNIX. But then again, neither have enough Linux folks. Heck, even the BSD folks didn't get it: <http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/> (That site is even named after Pike's USENIX talk on the subject.)
