What's the latest version of SyncTERM for windows? I have 0.9.5b. I'm
looking for a terminal that will display ansi ICE colors, and I'm told that SyncTERM will do it, but I haven't been able to get mine to do it.

I downloaded the latest Win32 version, and it shows as 1.0. It still doesn't do ICE colors like I'd hoped tho.

Also, I downloaded the Linux (Current) version, but it doesn't run on my
Linux Mint 17 distro. It give the following error:

bash: ./syncterm-linux: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

pretty sure it doesnt do ice colors.

Also, I downloaded the Linux (Current) version, but it doesn't run on my Linux Mint 17 distro. It give the following error:

Like I said; the "Linux (Current)" version. I con't know what version it is because I cannot run it. But the website has it dated "Wed Jan 22 2014 16:24.33". It's the precompiled version, not the source.

i just grabbed that version and it ranon ubuntu

And what version was that? The precompiled? Or the source, which you
compiled yourself?

is your *nix 32bit, perhaps? the last time i remember one of us over here trying the current synterm, the downloadable precompiled one was 64bit... one of us asked if both 32bit and 64bit could be done and made available but that went nowhere :(

That must be it. Yes, I'm running 32bit.

SyncTERM 1.0b is the latest. It doesn't do "ICE colors" whatever those are.

ICE colors are a modification of the traditional ANSI colors. Where ANSI has
8 background colors and 8 blinking colors, ICE had used the codes for blinking colors and made them into 8 aditional background colors. However, special terminals are needed to view ICE colors, or course.

Are these additional colours the "bright background" colours of the Win32 console, or are they something different? If it's the "bright background" mode, ESC[?33h should enable the mode (and ESC[?33l should disable it). Not sure if this is what ICE specifies (is there a spec?) but it should work.

They are the same as Win32 console, as far as I know. If you try to display a character with a blinking attribute in Win32 API I believe it will show with bright backgrounds, the same as ICE color.

There are no specs for ICE color that I know of; the RGB values of the extended backgrounds are the same as colors 8-15. Basically, instead of having 0-7 for background you now have 0-15 (identical to foreground)...

What used to be the blinking bit is now used to toggle extended background colors instead. That's pretty much it. For example (assuming no typos):

esc[1;5;37;40m
This would disiplay as bright white (color 15) on grey (color 8) background.

esc[0;30;5;43m
This would display black (0) on bright yellow (14) background.

Yes, I believe that is correct, in that it is the "bright background" ansi. But the code to enable and disable is not anthing I knew about. I will try it out. But also, is that something that syncterm will translate correctly?

Then yes, the sequences I mentioned should work in SyncTERM. Give it a shot and let me know if there's any problems.

I don't really understand the question.
