Functionally but the program I am talking about works on Mac OS X.1 and X.2, does this?

Looks like it might, it's a script compiled into a .app file.

I opened its guts and found this embedded changelog:

    30-OCT-2001: Version 1.0, adapted from one of the example toolbar scripts
    30-OCT-2001: Now handles embedded single quote characters in file names
    30-OCT-2001: Now handles folders on volumes other than the startup volume
    30-OCT-2001: Now handles click on icon in top-level (machine) window
    31-OCT-2001: Now displays a nicer terminal window title, courtesy of Alain Content
    11-NOV-2001: Now folders within application packages (.app directories) and has a new icon
    12-NOV-2001: New properties to set terminal columns and rows as the Terminal does not use default settings
    14-NOV-2001: Major change, now handles 8-bit characters in all shells, and quotes and spaces in tcsh
    18-NOV-2001: Version 1.1: Rewrite, now uses a temporary file  ~/.OpenTerminalHere to communicate
                 the directory name between AppleScript and the shell because this is much more reliable for 8-bit characters
    16-JAN-2006: Version 2.0: Rewrite, now uses "quoted form of" and "POSIX Path". This gets rid of
                 Perl and temp files, but it no longer handles files instead of folders.
    24-JAN-2007: Version 2.1: Integrated enhancements by Stephan Hradek, can again handle dropped files.
    18-NOV-2007: Leopard Update. Detects busy tab and opens a new one if needed - Jonathan Austin
    11-JAN-2008: Leopard Update. Detects if finder has a window. If not it, it opens terminal at the root of startup drive. - M Auayan
    22-APR-2010: Always open new tab - jameslow.com
