I bet this has already come up, but I missed it. Please e-mail replies
and I will sum up if there is demand...

I have a system that runs X11r2, I can't replace it with r3 (I tried,
really). Problem is that all the other machines here are now running
r3. I want to be able to xterm on those machines, but the display is
all wrong when I do. The bottoms of each line get shaved off and the
margins of the window are placed wrong - making it very hard to read
the display.

Is there a simple conversion tool, command, or something I can do to
make r3 xterm (and other things) show up correctly on the r2 display?
I couldn't find a switch in the xterm command line that would do it.

Unfortunately I can't give details on machine type or wm, as they are
confidential...
