 ====== Saltbush Terminal ======
-Saltbush Terminal is a tabbed terminal for Windows and Linux with saved sessions in folders and split panes. Version 1.8.0 connects over SSH2 (built-in engine or the OpenSSH client), RDP (Windows Remote Desktop), SFTP, Telnet, RLogin, raw TCP, serial ports and local shells, and has a two-pane SFTP browser and an SSH agent window. It calls BBSes with a proper DOS screen, the VGA font, Zmodem, Ymodem, Xmodem and Kermit, and runs Python and Lua scripts. It tells you when a new version is out and can install it for you. Scripts written for Lantern Terminal and the SyncTERM-Lua fork run unchanged.
