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 Be aware that it's no longer maintained upstream.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.
