Description

kterm is a xterm replacement with Japanese (Kanji) support. It also understands ANSI color sequences. This version is 6.2.0, available from the X11R6 contrib tape.

Also included is support for Xaw3d arrow-style scrollbars. You can now hold down the arrow buttons to scroll continuously. Asashi Satomi made this patch for FreeBSD by modifying the source while looking at the xterm patch available with Xaw3d for R5.

Some more extensive patching was needed since part of kterm code is quite old compared to recent X distributions.
