VT Tools

VT Tools is a Go library for providing support for Digital Equipment Corporation Video Terminals to Go programs.

It currently only supports the DEC VT220 in 8-bit Mode.

Why

Go programs are written in UTF-8. This can be cause challenges when running the compiled program on DEC Hardware Terminals which use a proprietary 8-bit encoding which (while flexible) is only partially compatible with modern character encoding formats.

This library aims to allow developers to write Go code (in UTF-8) which can be run correctly on DEC Video Terminals.

It also provides some support for manipulating the terminal in additional ways according to its documented spec.
