    SevenTTY
    --------
    SSH client, local shell, and terminal emulator for
    classic Mac OS 7/8/9.

    A fork of ssheven by cy384, expanded into a
    full-featured terminal environment.

    Features:
    - Multi-window: Cmd+N opens independent windows,
    each with their own tabs
    - Tabbed sessions: Cmd+T for local shell tabs,
    Cmd+S for SSH tabs, Cmd+1-8 to switch
    - Local shell: built-in command interpreter with
    30+ commands
    File operations: ls, cd, cat, cp, mv, rm,
    mkdir, touch, and more
    System info: ps, free [-h], df [-m|-h],
    uname, date
    Mac-specific: getinfo, chown, settype,
    setcreator, chmod, label
    Tab completion, command history (up/down
    arrows), colorized ls output
    - SSH client: password and public key
    authentication, known hosts verification
    - Scrollback: Shift+Page Up/Down to scroll through
    history (100 lines per session)
    - Copy/paste: mouse text selection with Cmd+C/V
    - 16-color terminal: xterm-compatible with bold,
    italic, underline, reverse video
    - Color themes: load iTerm2-compatible .sttheme
    files, or use built-in Dark (Tango) and Light
    palettes
    - Configurable: font size, display mode
    (color/monochrome), foreground/background colors,
    prompt color, terminal type string

    System Requirements:
    - CPU: any PPC processor, or at least a 68030
    (68040 strongly recommended)
    - RAM: 2 MB
    - Disk: fits on a floppy
    - System: 7.1 or later (versions below 7.5 require
    the Thread Manager extension)
    - Network: Open Transport required for SSH (local
    shell works without it)
