The script /mit/prochart/prochart invokes xterm with some options that
won't work under X11R3 (such as in 6.2A).  First, it uses the obsolete
form of the geometry specification (=80x50+50+50).  Second, it requests
a font that isn't available (vtsingle).

These can be fixed by using "-geometry 80x50+50+50" for the geometry spec,
and "8x13" for the font (the next closest thing to vtsingle).

A fixed version of the script can be found in /mit/elsj/Fixes/prochart.
