   NOTE: V.10R4

   has anyone out there gotten the XTTY package to work for a microvax?
   in the release we have the spawned 'xterm' doesn't even parse the
   command line switches correctly.  (from my perusal of the code, it
   looks like there needs to be changes to both the XTTY library and the
   xterm code).

Yes, you are right. You have to make a few changes to the vanilla
distribution xtty and xterm to get the slave mode to work right. Also
the xtty library creates its window separately, so if you have
an application that wants to run terminal emulators in a sub window,
you have to make mods (actually an addition) to Xlib and xterm. 

Since we use edmoy's xterm, I have twice sent xterm fixes+additions to
edmoy who is taking care of xterm's distribution. Regarding the Xlib
and Xtty mods, I can make the V10R4 mods (which I've checked on the
Suns, but nowhere else) available to people in athena, if anybody
wants it.
