Dear friends

Dr. Tom Blinn reports that DEC has NOT any color terminal emulator
BUT John Speno gave to me a very good URL :

         http://babayaga.math.fu-berlin.de/~rxvt/

in which are the sources of a COLOR TERMINAL EMULATOR (xterm-like)
It is named rxvt and I have installed it succesfully on my Dunix 4.0d
machines.
It is exactely what I was looking for.

The only problem I did'nt manage is the backspace key which does'nt
work. I have to use ^h which annoys me. If any of you finds out a
solution, plese send it to me.

Thanks to everybody,
Again enjoy the holidays (& Holy days)

Emanuele

Original question:
Is there any terminal emulator (for unix, not only Dunix) 
which permits colors ?
	I've just installed the new tcsh 6.08 from
	ftp://ftp.gw.com/pub/unix/tcsh
	and now it permits ls-F to show different kinds of file using
	different colors. But xterm (which is a vt102 emulation) only
	permits to set the colors of background,foreground,pointer,...
	Using xterm, instead of colors I get highlighting which is not
	as powerfull (and gracefull) as colors.
	
	New tcsh color work properly on dxterm, but I would like to avoid
	dxterm so that the new tcsh could work with colors even on my non-DEC
	machines.
