Tera Term is an open source free software terminal emulator (communication program) for MS-Windows. It emulates different types of terminals, from VT100 to VT382; it supports telnet, SSH 1 & 2 and serial port connections. It also has a built in Macro scripting language and a few other useful plugins.
The first versions of Tera Term were created by T. Teranishi from Japan. At the time it was one of the only freely available terminal emulators to effectively support the Japanese language. Development of Tera Term stopped in the late 1990s at version 2.3. In 2002 Ayera Technologies released TeraTerm Pro 3.1.3 supporting SSH2, however Ayera Technologies neither made their source open, nor provided technical support.
In 2004 Yutaka Hirata, a software designer from Japan, restarted development of the open source version of TeraTerm. He added his own implementation of SSH2 and lots of new features on top of what was part of version 2.3. A complete list of them is published on TeraTerm Support forum.
To avoid confusion with version numbers and to indicate that TeraTerm developed by Yutaka was more recent than version 3.1.3 from Ayera Technologies, it was decided to give this branch of TeraTerm Professional version numbers starting 4.xx.
In January 2005, Boris Maisuradze together with Yutaka Hirata started the TeraTerm Support forum where they answer questions from TeraTerm users. Posting in this forum is the best way to suggest new features for TeraTerm or propose new commands for the TeraTerm Macro language.
In 2007, TeraTerm is maintained by TeraTerm Project(Japanese Developer team) as open source software.
The latest versions of TeraTerm are compatible with OS Windows 98 and higher.
