Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 The syntax xterm -S/96 used to work. With the latest upgrade it reports: xterm: bad command line option "-S/96" This hurts because the Ski IA64 simulator invokes xterm with -S/96 or similar. I'm running on Itanium, but see the same behaviour on X86. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all slightly different.
