Hello, I've been looking at the possibilities of coding a simple
no-frills terminal emulator such as XTerm or Rxvt for a
Unix-environment. I've been searching for an already existing minimal
project, but most people decide to throw in things that are really
unnecessary according to me, which results in a pretty bloated
project. Since I'm no übercoder, it's not easy for me to analyze the
source code of Rxvt. It would be easier to read an RFC of some sort,
or look at a minimal terminal emulator. If anyone has a project like
that lying around, or knows where I can find one, I'd be grateful for
any help available. Any advice or a small introduction to the
interfaces needed would also be great. I basically only know C, so I
guess that'll be the language used for this project too. Thank you.
