Firstoff, kudos, appreciation, and many thanks to Steve Kirkendall for the elvis package. One problem I've had with elvis - screen display in insert mode isn't right. I see the first char inserted OK, but overwrite after that. I've looked at insert.c, redraw.c, and curses.[hc] and all looks well to me (not that I'm sure I'd spot a problem quickly). I then looked in the 1.5.0 /etc/termcap, and find no "im" entry. I tried adding an "im" entry of ":im=\E[1@:" based on my almost complete ignorance of termcap and curses, supplemented by a peek at console.c, but that didn't fix the problem. Anybody got a solution for this? On virecover - in a recent posting, bc@uxf.cso.uiuc.edu (Ben cox) writes: >I have been unsuccessful in compiling virecover, no matter which compiler >flags I set. I always run out of memory, which seems absurd. Me too. I noticed that it was "opt" which was running out of memory. Since virecover.c is not very big, I'm guessing this is a compiler bug. Nothing I tried helped the situation. Since I remembered 1.2 using a different compiler, I dusted off my 1.2 disks and used them to bring up a floppy-only minix. Elvis virecover.c compiled OK using that, and I moved the resulting executable to my 1.5.0 system. Hope I never need to recompile it.
