+rxvt (terminal emulator)
+
+rxvt is a color vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm
+replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix
+4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a result, rxvt
+uses much less memory -- a significant advantage on a machine serving
+many X sessions. Also included is rclock, an analog clock for X.
+
+rxvt was in Slackware up through 14.2; it was replaced with
+rxvt-unicode in 15.0. Some people still prefer the original rxvt, so
+here it is. Be aware that it's no longer maintained upstream. Also,
+be aware that rxvt doesn't support Unicode.
