Introduction to xterm

The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. Xterm is not distributed as part of the modular Xorg. You must retrieve it from the upstream source.
