Message-ID: Date: 5 Mar 90 18:32:16 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 25 As an aside from all the (justified :-|)bashing about NeWS marketing is this question. I'm trying to findout which terminal emulator people use. I'm interested in what is being done for use with OpenWindows (what a misnomer :-|) Below are my comments on the ones I've tried so far. psterm (sun's) - works but scrolls slowly and insists on scaling the font when the window is resized. doesn't support scrollbars xterm (sun or MIT X) - faster than psterm on screen updating, scales number of rows/columns when window is resized (yea), not good for use on a slow remote machine (i.e. uncovering the window asks the remote side to repaint, this takes too long), doesn't understand the L keys (L5 and L7) psterm (Grasshoppers) can't get it to work :-( probably because of font handling changes. Anyone have any other's I should try? I sure do wish there was one that worked in every situation. I find it hard to believe that these are the "state of the art" when it comes to terminal emulations programs. Roy -- uucp: {backbone}!rutgers!cs.rutgers.edu!marantz arpa: marantz@cs.rutgers.edu
