Announcing xterm verison 11.6.8.2 (X11R6.8.2).
This updates the xterm's that ship with SFU/Interix (R5 and R6.6).
This xterm is also now a colour terminal - whoo-hoo.
This binary is a static build because every machine has just X11R6.6 and
this is built against X11R6.8.2. A future release will link with
the X11R6.8.2 shared libraries once they are packaged (see note below).
The man page has many changes/additions especially to explain the use of colour.
So please RTFM
To install do:
pkg_update -L xterm or
pkg_add ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pkgs/3.5/xterm-current-bin.tgz
From a shortcut on the desktop to start an xterm you will want to
go to the "Shortcut" panel and enter in the "Target" box something very close to:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\PSXRUN.EXE -u -p /usr/local/bin/xterm -- xterm -ls
The path above is for the xterm installed by this package.
note:
The X11R6.8.2 libraries (shared and static) plus header files are all built.
But there are way, way, way many more files than with xterm (literally thousands).
So it will take a lot more time to get it packaged up for 3.5.
Xterm gets to serve as a teaser
Sponsors always welcome of course to help speed this up.
