Derick: eTerm requires X11 to run. As such, you can get it to compile and run, but then it'll run under the X11 environment while the iTerm application does NOT require X to be running. eterm would be a replacement for the xterm application in X11. SO, it's possible (probably) that eterm will work, but the question is why would you want to use it to replace Terminal? Jason One answer to this question is that I have X11 already and thanks to your suggestions (yourself and others responding to the query I posted on this list) I modified bashrc found in /etc which is acting in place of .bashrc (at least this is so in OS X v. 10.3.8). Although Terminal is still one color now at least the links are explicit, as are directories, files, read/write access details. In short, Terminal looks more like other Unix systems which is just fine. So why eterm? Well, I'm used to it's themes and got to appreciate it greatly when I was using Enlightenment alot. It's advantage is that I can choose each window to have a different background indicating (to me) that I'm doing something uniquely different in each one such that just by visual cues I can decide which one I want to look at right now. This doesn't appear yet to be the case with iterm. Ok...it can support vim in displaying various color codes etc., but eterm can do that AND provide me with the quick visual cues I mentioned. If I go ahead with this and am successful with getting eterm to run I'll post what I found out here. I won't remove Terminal, I just won't access it on the dock, if I can get eterm going. eterm supports FreeBSD so we'll see how much BSD, OS X really is. Interesting....No?
