[hercules-390] Extremely vintage terminal emulator

[[e-mail] [hercules-390]]

Just saw on this connected with a PDP-11 emulator group. It's a terminal emulator for Linux and Mac that emulates a real CRT (with all the little artifacts that I didn't remember that CRTs had until I saw them again).

I fired up turnkey, started cool-retro-term, and started a c3270 in cool-retro-term against both TSO and the MVS console.


voila; very very vintage green screen...

Did you build it from source, or install a package ?

What OS are you running ?

I tried installing the package on my Ubuntu 14 box using :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vantuz/cool-retro-term
sudo apt-get update

I'm getting 404 -

I couldn't install it on x86_64 Mint 18.2 either. The packager set it
up for a very specific configuration and release. I will probably build
it from source later this week.

I built from source on Ubuntu 16.04 x64. The build instructions and prerequisites were spot on.

Going to try to build it on a rPi tonight.
