AmigaOS and the Console Development - Part 1

[kolla]

I just want a console-handler with a wee bit of scroll back buffer and tab competition that can be put in kickstart even on a 68000, for those occations when I boot without startup-sequence. Or rather, tab-expansion in shell and only scroll back buffer in console-handler. For what it is worth, AROS has something like this already, "real" AmigaOS is lacking behind these days.

What's the problem with ViNCEd?

Can I put it in kickstart?

Really, the problem with ViNCEd is that it is "too much". I am sure it has brilliant terminal emulation, but what is the point when there is no good ssh implementation?

Apropos - Thank you Olsen for Term! I've been using it a lot lately, on MIST and Minimig, zmodem ftw

What's the problem with ViNCEd?

Would "VeryNewCon"  be better? That's the initial name it was.

Just VCON? ViNCEd, it is neither vi nor ced, who knows what the "acronym" is supposed to mean? And the casing? Crazy.

Why must it have a new name anyways, just want something that replaces CON: and RAW: and that is more capable - call it console.handler with an appropriate version string.

I suppose the idea is "convinced".
