Misguided instead? Very few people who would appreciate a simple terminal are likely to be using Windows. (I'm one of them.) I doubt you'll get many competent coders to contribute. (I'm not one of them.) And it's such a punishing environment that I don't know how satisfying it will be to say: "Well, at least my terminal is adequate!" cygwin + bug.n + an xmouse simulator (or inferno or Acme SAC, if you're into that sort of thing) is about as sane as it gets now on Windows. They are adequate, if your job (like mine) requires this stinky OS. I'd rather see good programmers working on *nix or cross-platform programs than spending time on the endless time-suck that is trying to clean up MS's mess. BTW, st compiles and runs under Cygwin / X, both in the cygwin multiwindow X and with a real WM like dwm. > My aim is to create a minimalist terminal emulator for windows.

(term to shell as term to term?) That all said, I'll give it a try.
