I have wondered about this myself.  I found an xterm on prang a while back
that parsed the command line (the others didn't know about the flag
designating the pty #), but I was never able to get input or output
from it. (We have Release 3).  The "standard" xterms seem to be totally
ignorant of the XTTY stuff, forcing me to play "character manager" to
get text i/o from/to windows.  Anybody have any ideas besides "It'll be
fixed in Version 11."?

In fact, has ANYBODY got XTTY to work on a microvax (or any ideas why it
might not work as is)?

Thanks.
