The termcap(3) posted as part of V1.4a does not contain any of the big fixes already included in the V1.3 library. The problems are: - ^x escapes generate the wrong value (ie. ^H -> ^G) - If TERM != name and TERMCAP is defined, then /etc/termcap should be searched. - tgoto() does not have col/line in the correct order for both types of output (should have 'r' option) - If a long definition precedes a short one, the program gets the short one wrong. - Spaces must be watched more closely now. Will the author (or the poster) please go back to the working V1.3 copy, and THEN apply any subsequent patches - including, of course, the good part of the new termcap(3), which checks all names in a definition.

( I already posted a similar message from an other site; i don't think that one made it. When somebody receive's a double message: i am sorry ) The termcap(3) posted as in part V1.4 is derived from the minix-st source; it is possible this does not contain fixes of V1.3 . When somebody has the source of the termcap V1.3 for me i will make the best of two worlds. Klamer PS. In my posting of the routines i explicitly mentioned it was minix-st; When ast wants to promote them to V1.4 complain to him, not to a ( crypticly called ) poster ( which i take for myself). But, no hard feelings. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Klamer Schutte mcvax!nikhefh!n62 n62@nikhefh.hep.nl
