A lightweight replacement for Xterm
Rxvt is a lighter weight replacement for xterm that leaves out some of xterm's more arcane and rarely used features. I have used it for many years, and never missed any of the xterm features it lacks. This port exists because I think that lightweight programs for MINIX are a Good Thing™.
Rxvt was originally written by Rob Nation (also the author of the FVWM window manager). It has had several subsequent maintainers, who added various features like pseudo-transparency. It has been "mature" for several years (which means that it hasn't seen much active development since circa 2003). Nevertheless, I usually use it in place of xterm.
There are some other interesting forks of Rxvt, notably mrxvt and rxvt-unicode . I may try porting these to MINIX eventually (if someone doesn't beat me to it).
This package will only build under MINIX 3.1.3a, and only with GCC.
Download the package here, read the README.minix file, then run the build.minix script. The binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin ; the man page will be installed in /usr/local/man/man1 .
