And it's these quirks that are still in existance on modern terminal emulators. ), with cross-compatibility coming later as an afterthought.īut even compatible systems often had their hardware (later software) quirks. These all started as proprietary developments of the different mainframe manufacturers (IBM, HP, Cray. Some of these has local computing options, many were of the type 'connect to the mainframe in the basement', basically glorified teletype machines that used a screen instead of paper.
