The tslibCLI/tsApplication checks that the application launch (console) window is at least the minimum size required to display the (optional) splash screen. It uses a print statement, with embedded control data) to increase the application launch window to the minimum size. It works only on recent Cygwin (free Linux-like plug-in, from Red Hat. for Microsoft Windows), Linux and Mac OS X distributions. It aborts the launch on Unix and older Cygwin and Linux distributions.

On Mac OS X 10.10.3 (Yosemite), tsApplication resizes and launches only with third-party "iTerm2" console application. With Apple "Terminal" application, tsWxGraphicalUserInterface terminates after re-sizing upon its receipt of signal SYNWINCH. The operator can then relaunch successfully with the now re-sized console.
