Tabbed Console Interface - TCI

Few months ago I started working with Ruby on rails for developing web applications. It involves lot of tasks to be performed and monitoring them via console. Developers who are aware of linux and have done development on it must be aware about how easy it is to work with console or shell GUI in linux as it is tabbed and has several features to assist in development.

In windows we don't have such options and we need to work with multiple DOS boxes flying here and there. It is really a big pain swapping between several DOS windows on your screen.


Finally I could find TCI which enables you to get similar features like in linux for example tabs for having several DOS prompts under one roof and several advanced features that make working with DOS a happy experience.

TCI enables you to easily modify look and feel of DOS like background which can even be set to transparent.


Currently TCI is available for 30 day trial with full functionality and it is available at very reasonable price. Ease of development obtained after moving over to TCI is worth while paying.

Features:

• Create up to 64 tabs, of any console (Win32 or DOS) applications.
• Reorder and rename existing tabs.

• Search the scrollback buffer (with regular expression support).
• Programmable toolbar to start new tabs or send keystrokes / commands to existing tabs.
