I hate the windows 16Bit cmd.exe, this thing is unusable.. ;-)
There is an alternative though... a tool that creates a pipe IO
to the real cmd.exe but it is just a new console ..with resize
colors etc..etc..
http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/
(download the beta 2)
You can reconfigure any application to run in it.. So is newlisp!)
So you have a better console under windows..

Neat, even can be semi-transparent :D
Do you know if it can do unicode? I've never seen any console programs for windows before, let alone any that can use unicode in the command line.

Beautiful!
Great idea making just a "front-end" and not another shell!

With support "xterm 256 color mode" :-)
Your opinion?

Ah yes ik know that one.. its a plugin for the far commander (russian version of midmight commander ;-)
At the time it just did not do what i wanted iy to do..but probably its enhanced meanwhile..
I jumped to an older console program, already used with OS2 for years, Take Command / TCC from JPsoft. The TCC is free the TCMD is commericial and it has hunderds of Batch enhancements etc...
(which is actualy the only console replacement i found that was working correctly.. there is another cmd
replacement for windows which is 32 bits and was created by a dutch/belgium guy..but not supported anymore, but its free and fast... sorry forgot the name...)
The other option im using under windows is running a local free sshd and connect with putty / xshell to my local machine ;-)
