No terminal.app in Applications/Utilities/

I do not have terminal.app in my Applications/Utilities directory and am wondering how I would go about downloading or getting it off the DVD's? I have the X11 just now terminal.

Cheers

first make sure that it's really gone and did not become invisible or was accidentally moved.
do a spotlight search for "Terminal".
also paste the following into an xterm window

ls -ladeO /Applications/Utilities/terminal.app

If it lists the permissions with a hidden flag the app became invisible. if it returns an error the app is really gone. then use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743] to pull it off the leopard install DVD.
