- I have just the program you need. It's called Seyon and you can find
- it on sunsite. It's X-based and can have as large a scrollback buffer as
- you like (since it utilizes xterm). Sunsite has version 0.0 and
- version 0.1 is due out soon (sunsite is probably going to be its
- 'home' and later versions may be obtained from there as well). It adds
- many features and corrects a few omissions.
-
- P.S. to have, say, 5000 lines of scrollback buffer in Seyon, you just
- have to put a line like:
-
- seyon.vt100.scrollLines: 1000
-
- in your Xdefaults file.
