I have an obscure terminal which uses a screen cell location to store
information to generate bold-face characters; to generate a bold-face
string, a bold-face start character (displayed as a space) would be stored
in one location, the following string would be in bold face, and the
stop bold-face character (also displayed as a space) would be at the end.
I am having difficulty generating a termcap entry which will use this
boldface capability for standout mode; in particular, when I use
so = <bold-face start>
se = <bold-face end>
ug = 1 /* to leave room for the single attribute byte */
curses becomes very confused (4.2 BSD).
Any help would be appreciated, even to say that this terminal cannot be
suppoted under termcap. Reply by mail if possible; I'll post a summary
of what answer(s) I receive. Thanks in advance.

Maybe you have confused the standout mode with the underscore mode. Termcap fields for standout are: so StandOut se Standout End sg Number of screen positions used by so and se Fields for underscore are: us Underscore Start ue Underscore End ug Number of positions for underscore In your article, you have mixed so&se with ug. If you have done that in the termcap entry too, it cannot work... Hans-Martin Mosner <hmm@unido.uucp>, <hmm@unido.bitnet>
