Dickey, who as ncurses maintainer has written one of the all-time great bits of software documentation in his NCURSES FAQ). > I have been rather annoyed at the increasing number of curses-like > libraries that only work with ANSI terminals. It is refreshing to see a > new one that properly supports terminfo! you can credit Mr. Dickey with this. i was inspired to start work on notcurses last November after reading Lexi Summer Hale's essay "On Temrinal Emulators" (http://xn--rpa.cc/irl/term.html). one of the things i disagreed with her on was the value of terminfo support, something Mr. Dickey states numerous times in his FAQ. > I own a number of actual serial terminals from the 80s and 90s and > actively use them in various projects.
