fgltty

GDC relies on fgltty to manage the connectivity with remote servers running Genero programs.

The fgltty tool is a modified version of PuTTY.

Warning: Fgltty has the purpose of initiating the connection and acting as a start for a Genero Program. It should NOT be seen as a general purpose terminal emulator. Attempting to use it as a general purpose terminal emulator can result in unexpected errors, such as incorrect display of Multibyte Character Sets.

The figure shows Panel 7 of the Genero Desktop Client shortcut wizard, Fgltty Configuration.

Most PuTTY options have been included inside the GDC shortcut configuration wizard. For more information regarding the fgltty configuration options, please refer to Configuring PuTTY in the PuTTY User Manual.

The GDC creates a configuration file which is passed to fgltty. Fgltty relies completely on PuTTY.
