UNIX window capabilities

The UNIX window (known to command-line users as scoterm) is an X client that emulates the SCO ANSI console; it produces a default window 80 columns wide by 25 lines in length.

Any application that runs on the SCO ANSI console can run under the UNIX window. There is one distinction, however: the UNIX window is a character-based terminal emulator and, therefore, does not support graphics mode or blinking characters.

The UNIX window offers many features not available in the standard X windows terminal emulator, xterm. It includes:

• ANSI display control string support

• Font support

• Mouse support

• Console keyboard compatibility

• Resize support
  

• Eight-bit character support

• International keyboard support

• Scancode support

For more information about these features, refer to the scoterm(XC) manual page.
