I have lost track of the development of drawterm for macos,
the x11 based drawterm was a bit clunky but did support
3 button mouse emulation and cut and paste between the mac's
snarf buffer and drawterms.

The native draterm is much snappier but the copy I needs an
external mouse to get three buttons (we have a powerbook pro)
and cannot cut and paste.

Anyone working on this / already made these changes? (asks hopfully :-)
if so where do I get a binary? The mac I have is my wifes
work machine, used for DTP box (I.E. no c compilers).

Control and clover give you 2 more buttons, although I have my
version hacked to use F1-F3 as mouse buttons on my macbook pro.  I've
not had any problems with cut-and-paste.
My biggest problem with it is that it doesn't do window-on-top focus
control quite right.  I'd love for some mac programmer to fix my bad
code.
