+Terminal README
+===============
+
+The Terminal is a Jface StyledText widget that can be hooked 
+up to various ITerminalConnectors providing an InputStream,
+OutputStream, and a method for setting the Terminal Size.
+
+The widget processes ANSI control characters, including NUL,
+backspace, carriage return, linefeed, and a subset of ANSI
+escape sequences sufficient to allow use of screen-oriented
+applications, such as vi, Emacs, and any GNU readline-enabled
+application (Bash, bc, ncftp, etc.).
+
+This is not yet a fully compliant vt100 / vt102 terminal 
+emulator!
