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.
