:This information was true about 6 months ago.  There has been a lot of
:work in this area.  Eterm/aterm/wterm all do a pseudo-transparency.
:This means that the X server has a property set that stores the
:background image.  When you open a pseudo-trans window, it checks this
:property and sets its background accordingly.  The difference between
:this and real transparency is significant, but the pseudo works really
:nice.

:As far as HP-UX goes, you should be able to get either aterm/eterm to
:compile.  We can certainly field questions on aterm in this list;
:Eterm would be better served elsewhere.

:However, I concur with the other followup: what compile time errors
:are you getting?
