well... if you're using terminfo to tell the number of colors (256 for example), it's a reasonably safe assumption that xterm supports both the aixterm (16-color) and 256-color controls. Unless of course the $TERM is set incorrectly, in which case the 256-colors is suspect. For other terminals, the 16-color feature was used - which accounts for the 16color variants. > With latest terminfo I could say that any terminal with colors=256 has a > setaf/setab that correctly accepts all 256 colours, then use setaf/setab > instead of sending \\033[38;5;c directly to get the benefit of any > optimisations in terminfo, but that isn't a safe assumption with an older > terminfo.src :-/. I'm not sure why - from what I'm reading the only problem was that tmux didn't recognize the aixterm codes. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
