A few TMUX/Screen alternatives found
One of them is a commercial product called FaceTerm, and I got the copy from the company. I'll be testing that soon. It's a commercial-UNIX specific one.

The other is "mtm" or Micro Terminal Multiplexer, which will probably need some work since it assumes GCC and I see GCCisms:

https://github.com/deadpixi/mtm

The reason I'm looking to this is because we're stuck on a 12-year old port of GNU screen, even if you use GCC or RSE: 4.0.3 

tmux is not currently possible, as it really wants unicode and stuff that IRIX just doesn't have. 

mtm is only around 1,300 lines. It's not 100% ideal, but it may be easier to maintain. 

If anyone else has other suggestions we have passed over, all ears.

Even supports split screen and stuff. It's pretty nice!

So, MTM will require some work before I can show it off, but I think it's possible.

libxg is actually getting use here!

Oh man FacetTerm brings me back, used to make use of the SCO release of that. Any luck porting MTM? Sounds rad.

Hey Jenna,

I kinda dropped the ball on it due to some issues with the code. We're working on something a bit more exciting rn, can't explain what, but all the same, mtm is possible, just needs someone who has more time with it, and probably needs the forkpty() in libxg:
