[comp.terminals] vt340 information needed

srp@modcomp.UUCP (Steve Pietrowicz) (08/17/90)

I'm working with a vt340 terminal and I'm trying to get a terminfo entry
together for it for use with the color options in curses.  (ATT V3.2)  I've
been able to come up with parts of it, but I think I've hit a dead-end.  Is
it possible to place a character somewhere on the screen in such a way that
the character itself has it's own background and foreground color?  (ie, a
blue screen with a red "X", with a green background for just the red "X")?

As I was saying, I'm using this in conjuction with color curses, but any
information about this would be greatly appreciated.

No.
