+aterm, version 0.4.0, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator, based
+on rxvt 2.4.8 with Alfredo Kojima's additions of fast transparency,
+intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require
+features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
+configurability. As a result, aterm uses much less swap space --
+a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
+
+It was created with AfterStep Window Manger users in mind, but is
+not tied to any libraries, and can be used anywhere.
