Title:		aterm
Version:	0.4.2
Entered-date:	06Sep01

Description:	<http://aterm.sourceforge.net>
		aterm is based upon rxvt v.2.4.8 with add ons of 
		Alfredo Kojima's NeXT-ish scrollbars. Fast transparency 
		functionality, background lightening/darkening or/and 
		tinting(coloring). Original idea of using ParentRelative
		transparency mode belongs to Alfredo also, although code 
		has been mostly reworked. It can also be integrated with
		AfterStep libasimage for pixmap loading from various formats.
		
		Rxvt is an 8-bit clean, colour xterm replacement that uses
		significantly less memory than a conventional xterm, mostly
		since it doesn't support toolkit configurability or Tek
		graphics, but also since features can be removed at
		compile-time to reflect your needs.  Some rxvt features
		(compilation dependent): ANSI-color, bold/blink attributes
		modify foreground/background colours, scrollbars with arrow
		buttons, kanji and greek support, printer-pipe, XPM, JPEG and
		PNG backgrounds with on-the-fly scaling, user-definable menus.
