Sorry if this has already made the rounds here. We are interested in a clean and minimum functionality xterm. Essentially, we don't care for any Tek emulation, or menus, scrollbars etc. We would just like to have a basic ansi or vt100 emulation, without any of the frills, and the messyness that is in the xterm source that came with X11R2 distribution. We have done some cleaning ourselves, and now have a basic xterm with one problem remaining: we got rid of the jump scrolling; we don't want to include the code for CopyWait as it is. The problem is that if you do a "cat" in the xterm window, it tries to scroll one line at a time, and very soon the server (we think) gets swamped, and crashes. One experiment we did was to do a XSync after every 5 scrolls, which has improved things considerably, but still causes problems. Our question is this- Has anyone already done such a clean-up of xterm? We would like to either get the source, or at least get some useful info from you. If not, do you have suggestions for managing the scrolling problem in some neat way? Finally, it would be especially great, if someone has also removed all the toolkit dependencies from xterm. Is that asking for too much?
