I just finished building aterm on my LCIII, and it works great.  I type:

 aterm -tr -trsb -fg green

And it works fine.  Even with transparency.  And the scrollbars are a
welcome touch too.

I'm moving on to the next item in my list.  Curiously, setiathome will not
build on the 68k machines.  At least it won't build on my Q700.  It just
complains that setiathome can't be used on this machine.  Has anybody
managed to get seti@home working on a 68k Macintosh?
