Gentlemen!  Your objections/wondering  are misplaced.  This program  was
released in 1991 (or earlier). The FreeBSD port was added in 1997.

Personally, I find it better than the above quoted hacks. It is not just
the title, but plenty of other  parameters that can be changed with this
little utility:

	Window Attributes
	  -name         1      Change title and icon name
	  -icon         1      Change icon name
	  -title        1      Change window title
	  -display      0      echo DISPLAY as keyboard input
	  -displayfile  1      Write DISPLAY name to file
	  -hostname     0      echo hostname as keyboard input
	  -hostnamefile 1      Write hostname to file
	  -logfile      1      Change log file name
	  -scinv        0      Use inverse video
	  -noscinv      0      Don't use inverse video
	  -scalt        0      Use alternate screen
	  -noscalt      0      Use normal screen
	Scrolling and Scroll Bars
	  -jump         0      Jump scroll
	  -ooze         0      Slow scroll
	Character Attributes
	  -normal       0      Normal characters
	  -blink        0      Blink (bold) characters
	  -ul           0      Underlined characters
	  -bold         0      Bold characters
	  -inv          0      Inverse video characters
	Miscellaneous
	  -verb         1      Copy arg to window
	  -font         1      Change normal font
	  -fontb        1      Change bold font
	  -fonts        2      Change normal & bold fonts

Yes, this can be written as a script. No, I think _an already written_
utility is better. Yours,
