Carl,
I don't know from ConEmu, and I don't get what "attached"
really means here, but could it be faster running XyWrite than vDosPlus
is? Could you do a speed test?
Regards,
Harry
XyWrite is not the point. (OT =
"off-topic", yes?) I think it's big
news because it's the first upgrade to the Windows command-line user
interface since ... forever? ... and it appears to be a major one.
The
command window will be a lot more customizable -- pick your fonts,
colors, etc. -- and run different command shells side-by-side in
tabs.
Unicode, too, undoubtedly. And making it open-source is the biggest
news of all.
It's true that most if not all of this is already available in an
environment like ConEmu. It's endlessly customizable -- like
XyWrite!
-- and XyWrite under vDosPlus runs very nicely in a tab as an
"attached" application, which is handy at times:
