Aterm is a VT100 - terminal emulator for the X Window System , similar to xterm , rxvt or Eterm . The software is under the GNU General Public License and is provided by most Linux distributions as well as many other free Unix systems as part of the respective package management .
The code basis for the program was version 2.4.8 of rxvt from 1999. The software is mainly developed as part of the AfterStep project. However, aterm does not depend on an installed AfterStep. Although aterm is independent of AfterStep in this sense and can be used with a wide variety of window managers , parts of the functionality can only be used in connection with AfterStep. This includes features such as influencing the appearance using AfterStep themes .
aterm supports pseudo-transparency . In contrast to other terminal emulators such as xterm or urxvt, UTF-8 is not supported.
At the beginning of 2008 the development of aterm was stopped, urxvt has been the preferred terminal emulator for the AfterStep project ever since.
