:>  pcvt will be removed from the i386 port permanently.
:There are some pieces which are worth being kept:
:-the "vttest" utility (Util/vttest)
:The fonts could go into eg share/fonts/*, the vttest
:perhaps into regress (it's interactive however),
:don't know for the demos yet.

The vttest set, though suitable for vt100 tests, is very out of date.
If it was to be kept - and I'd be more inclined to make it pkgsrc - then
I'd suggest integrating the more comprehensive testsuite from
	ftp://dickey.his.com/vttest/
This is the updated version by xterm's maintainer, Thomas Dickey.
