Everything seems to have gone fine, more or less. The thing that's bugging me at the moment is that xterm has changed such that slrn -C, which used to be blue and red text against a black background is now black against black, with some deep, dark colours where red and green should be. The manual doesn't seem to mention any controls to wiggle. The release notes mention some changes to colour handling in xterm, but does so in terms of vast ranges of colours, rather than the eight or 16 primary ones usually used by ANSI escape sequences. Any clues about how to get slrn -C and xterm to play nicely together again?
