dag@chinet.UUCP (11/18/87)
I have made a few minor modifications to the file "tgetent.c" from the
recently posted termcap library for the ST. One of these changes permits
the use of fully qualified paths in the environment variable "TERMCAP",
thus "c:\etc\termcap" could be used, the old version required that the
file name be prefixed by a "\" or "/", thus devices were not allowed.
That change should work with any compiler, and is conditionalized under
the symbol "GEMDOS". The other changes add a search along the library
search path (LIBPATH) for the termcap file, and uses the function "path"
from the Mark Williams C library (version 2.0 and later). These changes
are conditionalized under the symbol "MWC", which must be defined on
the compilation command line if you want the feature to be used.
Here is an edited "diff" of the files. No lines were deleted,
just added. I hope you find these changes useful.
94 a 95,99
#ifdef MWC
#include <path.h> /* path search stuff */
#define DEFAULT_ROOT "termcap" /* name without path component */
#define DEFAULT_FILE "termcap"
#else
=============================
95 a 101
#endif
=============================
227 a 234,236
#ifdef MWC
char *pp; /* path pointer... */
#endif
=============================
230 a 240,242
#ifdef GEMDOS
if (*cp == '\\' || *(cp+2) == ':') { /* Improved recog. */
#else
=============================
231 a 244
#endif
=============================
254 a 268,274
#ifdef MWC
if ((pp = getenv("LIBPATH")) == NULL) /* Get the library path */
pp = DEFLIBPATH; /* if none, use default */
if ((pp = path(pp, DEFAULT_ROOT, 4)) == NULL)
pp = DEFAULT_FILE; /* Find the file */
return (fopen(pp, "r")); /* Open the file */
#else
=============================
255 a 276
#endif
=============================
Note: If you copy this posting into a file on your ST along with the source
for tgetent.c from the original posting, and you have the version of
micro emacs from the 2.* version of MWC, you can use the "error buffer"
feature of the editor to speed incorporating these changes.
At the shell prompt, type "me tgetent.c -e <file>" where <file> is the
name of the file containing this posting. This will bring the editor
up with tgetent.c in a large window and this posting in a small window,
and the cursor on the first line in tgetent.c where a change should be
added. Move the cursor down to the next line and insert the lines that
follow the line numbers up until the "=============================",
then hit ^X followed by >, which should move you to the next diff.
You will probably want to shrink the tgetent.c window so you can see
all of each change without messing up the dot position in the error buffer.
You could also simply print this out and use the <esc>-G "goto-line"
command (don't use ^X-g, since this uses line-in-buffer rather than
line-from-file") to go to each line to append to.
(only in MWC derived versions of me).
