WHEN TO USE EACH VERSION
================================================================================

Use GTK3 When:
  ✓ On desktop with GNOME/KDE/XFCE
  ✓ Need visual monitoring interface
  ✓ Want port monitoring capability
  ✓ Prefer menus and buttons
  ✓ Want auto-save configuration

Use CLI When:
  ✓ On server (no display)
  ✓ SSH remote access
  ✓ Scripting/automation
  ✓ Minimal resources needed
  ✓ Prefer command-line
  ✓ Want quick startup
  ✓ Deploying to many machines

Both:
  ✓ Use GTK3 on workstation
  ✓ Use CLI on servers
  ✓ Best of both worlds

================================================================================
COMPARISON WITH OTHER TOOLS
================================================================================

nc (netcat):        Just raw sockets, no color/logging
telnet:             Basic TCP, works but dated
ssh:                Full shell, not just TCP
curl:               Web-focused, different purpose
socat:              Complex, more features than needed

TermTCP CLI:        Just right for TCP connectivity
                    Simple, fast, focused

HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
================================================================================

On a UNIX System:

  Workstation:
    /usr/local/bin/termtcp    → GTK3 version
    Full GUI, port monitoring, all features

  Server/Headless:
    /opt/termtcp              → CLI version
    Lightweight, no dependencies, perfect

  User's home:
    ~/.local/bin/termtcp      → Preference (either)
    Users can choose what they prefer

Result: One binary per system, perfectly suited!
