What is it?
taTelnet is a cross-platform telnet program utilizing the wxWindows cross-platform GUI library.
The motivation is that most telnet's (especially M$'s) don't work
properly and what's worse is that you can't get the source code to
fix it.
Guess what? Here is a telnet program that emulates a
DEC VT100 terminal with an extended "PC" mode. And if it doesn't
work quite the way you want or is just plain broken, you can get the
source code and fix it.
We appreciate additions and bug fixes. The whole point here is
to create the best telnet program we can utilizing the collective
brain power of the worlds programmers.
Please consider the current version a beta as it hasn't been
tested very thoroughly yet.
Documentation
None yet (sorry :)).

Known Bugs and ToDo's
- Keypad keys don't work properly when numlock is on.
- Some garbage left on screen under wxGTK (Linux). Appears to
be a problem with the MoveChars and/or ClearChars() method.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the 2.2 release of wxWindows.
- Cut, Copy, and Paste don't do anything.
- Font selection under Linux makes it hard to select a specific
font (this is a problem with the GTK font selection dialog).
- Performance is less than desired.
- Nothing has been done to support internationalization.
- Need to add dialog for configuration of colors used. (Done)
- The Win32 Console version seems to have a lag after pressing
a key if started from a "shortcut" rather than from a
"DOS" box.
- Add SSH support.
- Add server history list to File menu.
- Add history and scrolling to the terminal window.
Change Log
- Version 1.0.0 - Feb 4, 2000
-
- added default for port to Connect dialog
- fixed char sent for ESC key
- Version 1.0.1 - Feb 5, 2000
-
- Restructured the directory layout.
- Merged changes from Guillermo Rodruquez Garcia
to compile with mingw32/cygwin32 under Windows and
added his makefile.g95.
- Created Win32 Console version (as requested by Oscar Martin
Gonzalez). It seemed like such a good idea, I just had to
do it.
- Brightened color of default foreground text color.
- Version 1.0.2 - Feb 13, 2000
-
- Added dialog to allow color configuration.
- Added configuration option to allow choosing either
to use brighter colors or overstrike to render bold text.
How portable is it?
Currently it is portable to any platform to which wxWindows has been
ported. This includes M$ Windows (haven't tested Win3.1, though),
Linux, and most other Unixes (including Solaris and HP/UX) and
hopefully the BSD variants. The Mac and OS/2 ports of wxWindows
are under heavy development at the moment, so support for these
should be available soon (Mac very soon, I hope). We also have
a version that runs on the Linux console which should be fairly
easy to port to DOS (if someone wants it).
License
All of the code with the exception of the GTerm code (VT100
terminal emulation code in the gterm directory, which is
under a very GPL like license) is released
under the GNU GPL license.
Credits
- The wxWindows development team: what a
great library they have produced and what a great
resource they are!
- Timothy Miller: thanks for the great VT100 terminal
emulator. You made this so easy!
