Can anyone suggest a package for supporting a state of the art text user interface (windows, etc) on a varied terminal base? I suppose I could use curses, but curses doesn't seem to work entirely correctly on terminals where attribute characters (inverse, blink) take a physical position on the screen, such as the Televideo 950. Also, I was hoping for a bit more power than curses provides. Any pointers to inexpensive commercial packages or better still, freeware would be appreciated. Please mail, if sufficient response I will post a summary. -- Bennett Broder Monmouth College ..princeton!moncol!ben Computer Services ..rutgers!petsd!moncol!ben W. Long Branch, NJ 07764

Definitely check out "screen" by Oliver Laumann (ftp
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/screen-2.1.tar.Z (works on Berkeley style
UNIXes)) it may do most of what you require.
