15 After using aterm for nearly two decades this has now finally convinced
16 me to move on.  So sorry if there are other users of aterm, but I'm
17 going to go back on the above.

19 Additional information from http://www.afterstep.org/aterm.php

21 aterm is deprecated and in a maintenance mode only; there will be no
22 further updates. Use rxvt-unicode
23 <http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html> instead.
24
25 It took minor changes to my .Xresources file and that seems to work just
26 as well as aterm, so my out of hand recommendation is to use that.

28 Andreas, perhaps this should be added to the mask comment?  Happy to
29 push a PR or simply add this information to the bug report, at the very
30 least I thing the bug report should be closed with WONTFIX, may I
31 proceed with that?  I'll same comments there if in order.
32
33 Kind Regards,
34 Jaco
