Xvt is an xterm replacement which uses a little less memory, and is suitable for use on machines with small memories. Tek4010 support is removed. Modifications were made by Rob Nation (nation@rocket.sanders.lockheed.com) to make it a little more compact, and to add and remove certain features. Here's what's new since the last release: 1. rxvt now accepts resource input from the .Xdefaults file. 2. The default configuration is 8-bit clean, with 7-bit mode available as a command line or resource option. 3. Added an option to start the window's shell as a login shell for people who don't want to fix their start-up procedures. 4. Fixed a few bugs, including one which caused some versions of "more" to break. Also, some unrelated stuff has been added to the package: 1. rclock - a lighter weight version of xclock. Has the nice feature of displaying the time in analog format when de-iconified, or in digital format when iconified 2. Notes on other tricks to conserve memory when using X. Shows a route to saving a full megabyte of RAM. When running Xmono in 4.25 megabytes of RAM, I now have 1.1 Mebyte free (actually its used for buffers). Rob Nation (nation@rocket.sanders.lockheed.com)
