I've just been trying to compile the Elvis editor posted in alt.sources.
The Turbo C project file specifies several modules in a termcap
subdirectory, and the curses.c module references them. These modules
weren't in the distribution.
Before I go off re-inventing the wheel, can someone point me to a source
for these functions? They are: tgetnum, tgetstr, tgetent, tputs, tgoto
and tgetflag.
Thanks in advance!

They both refer to a complete termcap library, but they're supposed to refer to "tinytcap.c". Tinytcap emulates termcap, but only for TERM=ansi and TERM=nansi. (I've been told that TERM=nansi also works with FANSI.SYS and NNANSI.SYS as well.) Also, it should be compiled in the medium or large memory model. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Kirkendall kirkenda@cs.pdx.edu uunet!tektronix!psueea!eecs!kirkenda

Large, I found out last night. Medium gives errors in link under TC 2.0 -- Roy M.

I was unable to build a debugging version of elvis on our Pyramid, which
is running OSx5.0d as shipped. The problem was a redefinition of the
endwin function.
Elvis uses it's own version of curses, but expects to be able to use the
low-level terminfo (or termcap) functions. The Pyramid curses support
does not segregate those two libraries.
Has anyone dumped the elvis curses and linked against the full SysVr3
curses package? Are the like-named functions interchangable?
Otherwise, I guess I'll have to use ar(1M) to extract my own low-level
library.
Great package though! I've been using it for a couple of days now instead
of *real* vi, just to get a feel of where it differs. Not much!
