On export.lcs.mit.edu (00-index.txt):

    This is a modified version of the X11R5 Text Widget.  It is designed
    to drop into the X11R5 source tree and replace the original X11R5
    Text Widget.  It will behave identically to the original, unless
    the resource startMode is set to "vi", in which case it will give
    you vi-like modal editing.  By Eric Bina.
