VT102 terminal emulator for both X and Windows. This version has been modified and compiled for use in the MSYS environment, and does not attempt to use an X display even if available; it always operates in "native" Windows mode. To launch MSYS in an rxvt window, create a shortcut to C:\msys\1.0\msys.bat, with the argument "--rxvt". Some people find rxvt a more accomodating terminal than cmd.exe, since it may be resized at will and has a larger scrollback buffer. However, rxvt sometimes does not interoperate well with native applications (such as MinGW gcc), so the default cmd.exe console is recommended for most users. Another alternative console implementation that many users find congenial is the "Console 2.00" project. This replacement console is not provided by the MinGW/MSYS team directly for licensing reasons (Console 2.00 is GPL, but cannot currently be compiled using Libre tools), but you may install the msys-console package which provides the `console-config' script. This script which will download, install, and configure the Console 2.00 team's packages.
