[net.sources.d] tgraph

allbery@ncoast.UUCP (Brandon S. Allbery) (10/24/86)

I've just received a message from pegasus!hansen stating that 4.3BSD and
Sys Vr3 both have graphics character support.  He also sent me specifications
on this support; it won't take much work to make "tgraph" source-compatible
with sVr3 and 4.3BSD, providing (1) the "graph" functions for sVr3 and BSD,
and (2) allowing programs for other systems using "tgraph" to be source-
compatible with the new graphics character protocol.  (Although 4.2BSD users
will have to put up with a terminfo-like database for the tgraph characters!)

This will delay posting of tgraph a bit, but make it more useful.
