[comp.sys.ibm.pc] PCcurses release 1.4

bl@infovax.UUCP (Bj|rn Larsson) (01/15/90)

  For anyone it may concern: I have just submitted a new version
of PCcurses (release 1.4) to comp.sources.misc. It could be expec-
ted to appear there in the near future.

  The new version contains several bug fixes, but no new features.
For more information there is a README.NOW file in it.

					Regards, Bjorn

Will PCcurses 1.4 support terminals connected to COM ports ?

No, there is no termcap-like support in PCcurses. It is restricted to
use only the console screen (using portable BIOS calls). Of course,
anybody could implement that :-)

] Will PCcurses 1.4 support terminals connected to COM ports ?

No. (Hmm, This limb looks pretty sturdy...;-}  Even the version that I
am sending Bj|rn does not support COM ports.  The only way that I can
see 1.3/1.4/1.4+ supporting COM ports is if the BIOS supports a "terminal
connected to a COM port."

(Maybe if we jump up and down on this limb....Nahhh;-) I will be
merging 1.4 with my version and sending it to Bj|rn Friday or
Monday... Time allowing...
