Rxvt release 1.3 has been uploaded to /pub/Linix/Incoming/rxvt-1.3.tar.z and
rxvt.README. 

Xvt is an xterm replacement which uses a little less memory, and is 
suitable for use on machines with small memories. Tek4010 support
is removed.

Modifications were made by Rob Nation ([email-masked]) 
to make it a little more compact, and to add and remove certain features.

Here's what's new since the last release:
1. rxvt now accepts resource  input from the .Xdefaults file.
2. The default configuration is 8-bit clean, with 7-bit mode available
   as a command line or resource option.
3. Added an option to start the window's shell as a login shell for
   people who don't want to fix their start-up procedures.
4. Fixed a few bugs, including one which caused some versions of "more"
   to break.

Also, some unrelated stuff has been added to the package:
1. rclock - a lighter weight version of xclock. Has the nice feature
   of displaying the time in analog format when de-iconified, or in
   digital format when iconified

2. Notes on other tricks to conserve memory when using X. Shows a 
   route to saving a full megabyte of RAM. When running Xmono in 4.25
   megabytes of RAM, I now have 1.1 Mebyte free (actually its used for
   buffers).

Bug fixes since release rxvt-1.2 were minor:
1. Fixed a problem with the xterm-style scroll bar locking up occasionally.
2. Finally made use of non-english character sets possible in 8 bit mode.

A Linux binary is included. To use it, you need Xfree86-1.3, and libc-4.4.1.
