I'm using on sunos 5.8 a drawterm that I compiled in july 2002;
I made minor modifications: I'm using it in 8bit color mode,
to avoid the strange palette problem I get when running in
24bit colors. I also recall that without modifying, it aborts
when it fails to find the endianness of the X server.
