When Thomas E. Dickey [1] stops taking care of Xterm (and much else), it will be the end of an era.

It can also display images using sixel [0].

My favorite xterm capability is the ability to display Tektronix vector graphics.

I started combining that with subleq as an experiment in minimalist programming.


Will be nice to find a program library of examples. It seems that it could do interesting things.
