+ Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here

+
+This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of
+the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage.
+Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014
+subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to
+clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.
+
+If you are porting this to a machine that has problems with overlapping
+bcopy's, watch out!
+
+There are two documents on xgterm: the man page, xgterm.man, which describes
+how to use it, and ctlseqs.ms, which describes the control sequences it
+understands.
