It consists in a complete object oriented library including multiple, resizeable, overlapping windows, pull-down menus, dialog boxes, buttons, scroll bars, input lines, check boxes, radio buttons, etc. Mouse support, advanced object management, events handling, communications between objects are provided, too, bundled with a complete programmer's manual.
2. Portability and development
The current stable version is Xterminal 1.0.7, released on December 22, 2002.
It is known to work on Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD, but should work without any modifications on other UNIXes too, because it uses "autoconf"/"automake" configuration scripts, and "ncurses" library, which ensure a high portability degree.
