Darwin Terminal in Windows.

[[SomeGuy]]

Are there any Darwin terminal emulators for PC? I would like to get good at Darwin without trying to find a mac ISO and stuff. Just the terminal. You know, Terminal.app? Also, if I were to in C program a program that would display a message, ask for input, and if the input is menu, go to the menu, if it's time, display the time, and so on?

You could always remotely access your mac. I doubt it, although if you write terminal code with no mac specific features then it should work on any unix terminal and I'm sure that you can find an emulator for an older unix. You could also use a Linux Live CD since Linux is based on UNIX.

terminal's a terminal just a prompt you type into it's the API's behind the terminal that's key portability's always good stick to POSIX stuff where ever you can (no bash'isms, no darwin'isms) then one shell script should function on all posix systems (linux, solaris, bsd, osx, etc., etc.) hell even windows, if it has cygwin or mingw

Thanks guys! I'll find something.

xXSomeGuyXx, do you mean you just want a UNIX shell environment (like the one found in the Terminal.app program in Mac OS X) that runs on Windows? If so, you're probably looking for Cygwin. Or you could try a Linux distro in a virtual machine via free software like VirtualBox.

I tried VB, but it didn't work for me, but I mean, like the actual "Welcome to Darwin!" thing. Cygwin might work, I'll look into it.
