Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here

|
This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of
|
|
the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage.
|
|
Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014
|
|
subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to
|
|
clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.
|
|
|
|
If you are porting this to a machine that has problems with overlapping
|
|
bcopy's, watch out!

There are two documents on xterm: the man page, xterm.man, which describes
|
|
how to use it, and ctlseqs.ms, which describes the control sequences it
|
|
understands.
