I'd like to come up with a better XTERM than the one that came with my system. The one I'm using doesn't support the extended character set so when I do an Rlogin to my vax, the files with the extended character set are garbage. It has several other shortcomings like weird scrollbars, the backspace key doesn't work quite right, etc.. Does anyone have the source for an XTERM so I can make my own Motif-looking XTERM? I'd like to maybe put a menubar are the top and some Motif scrollbars. I can't get the source via FTP because I don't have FTP privileges so E-mail would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I believe it contains a warning: "here be dragons" - it's been played with so much. +----------------------+---+ Jan Newmarch, Information Science and Engineering, University of Canberra, PO Box 1, Belconnen, Act 2616 Australia.
