Short: Xvt-2.0 reduced memory and size XTerm Type: X11/shells Author: jdb@ukc.ac.uk (John Bovey) Uploader: cjr6@ukc.ac.uk (Chris Rainbow) Requirements: XFree68-3.2, Linux/m68k 2.0.x (1.2.x too maybe, but not tested). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extract from original Xvt-2.0 docs : Xvt is an X terminal-emulator that is designed to be more or less compatible with xterm while using much less swap space. It is mainly intended for use at sites which use large numbers of X terminals but may also be useful on single workstations that are short of memory. On a SPARCstation running SunOS4, an initially invoked xvt uses about 1/3 megabyte of swap while xterm uses about 1.3 megabytes (obtained by running pstat rather than ps which seems to give unreliable size figures on SPARCs). The main way that xvt achieves its small size is by avoiding the use of the X toolkit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an 'almost-no-changes' version of Xvt-2.0 for Linux/m68k with XFree68-3.2. It may work with other configurations but hasn't been tested. It works on my A1200 50MHz '030 (no fpu) Linux 2.0.22 with XFree68-3.2 so it should work for you too ;^) The sources for Xvt aren't included in this archive to keep the size down. If you want the sources then they are readily available from most ftp sites, but if you have any trouble then email me and i'll point you to the appropriate sites. If you do plan to recompile Xvt then you'll have to edit the Makefile since Linux isn't a supported architecture. If you need some help then contact me and i'll see what i can do (although i'm no expert :^) Look out for my other X11 binaries for Linux/m68k which are all available from my homepage (or at least they should be ;^) Other stuff compiled by myself includes : Xvt-2.0 - What you've got your hands on now! RXvt-2.8 - An improved version of Xvt with pixmap background loading and other nice gubbins. AfterStep1.0pre2 - The best X11 window manager available! (IMHO) Xless-1.7 - An X version of less. XColors - Displays available colours on your X server (although i've never got it to display anything!) XColorSel - A kind of colour selector/mixer. Anyway, enjoy Xvt!
