Wy60 Source Code

The Wy60 Terminal Emulator is only available in source code. You can download the most recent release (check the ChangeLog) from here:

wy60-2.0.9.tar.gz

You must compile it yourself before you can install it on your system. If you already have all the neccessary tools installed (e.g. C compiler, curses development files, GNU style shell commands, ...), then unpack the archive and type the following commands:

   ./configure
   make
   make install

The last command must be run as root, but the other ones can be performed by any user.

Read the manual page for more information on how to customize the emulator, or just run it by typing:

wy60

Patches

Rob Clark has donated a patch that allows for customization of the text color that is shown for different text attributes. He writes:

I have posted a hack against wy60-2.0.4 which lets you choose a custom set of colors for ANSI or Non-ANSI terminals in your wy60.rc or .wy60rc configuration file. It only affects color, not intensity.

For example,

ANSICOLORS    = 01432532          (default ANSICOLORS    = 01234567)
NONANSICOLORS = 01234442          (default NONANSICOLORS = 01234567)

Context diff to patch wy60.c: http://personal.myvine.com/~gromitkc/cdiff-rc1.

I have also posted a shell script to show display attribute colors in order to select your favorite ANSICOLORS or NONANSICOLORS.
