"TERM" and "TinyTERM", from Century Software. I don't know if my name is still exposed in them anywhere (it's been 7 years since I worked on them). Last I heard, Wes Peters had even done a FreeBSD port, but they are probably not selling it commercially. PS: This was the first UNIX application software to: o treat UNIX as other than a second class citizen o ship as shrink wrapped packages o ship with a "DOS binder-style manual" (written by myself and Tim O'Reilly, among others) o support emulating terminals on UNIX boxes (VT100 on a Wyse-50, anyone?) o support Minitel emulation o run on any UNIX box a customer asked for (~140 of them) Etc. A lot of firsts. Contact Wes on the advocacy lists, or contact Century (censoft.com?) directly. PPS: Yes, I am proud of this particular baby...
