Archive-site: expo.lcs.mit.edu [18.30.0.212] Archive-directory: /contrib Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) Due to the great demand, I have placed a complete copy of the xterm source we have been hacking on here at SGI on expo. Features include: 1) A mostly rewritten and cleaned up main.c 2) A new scrolling option. Makes scrolling work faster on some servers, and looks better too. 3) Support for ANSI ISO 6429 color text! Ever wanted to have bold be a different color, or have a weird, multi-colored prompt? Now you can! 4) ANSI color was good enough for us. We also have special escape sequences to change the background color, primary text color, cursor color, and mouse colors on the fly! You an find this stuff on expo.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/color_xterm.tar.Z Check it out. Compile it for your machines. Use it. Enjoy it. Just please don't ask us to support it! If you have any questions, I can be contacted as tomw@esd.sgi.com until Sept 19th, and after that as tom@bears.ucsb.edu. -- Tom Weinstein Silicon Graphics, Inc., Entry Systems Division, Window Systems tomw@orac.esd.sgi.com Any opinions expressed above are mine, not sgi's.
