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. |
