termcap supported the TERMCAP environmental variable, which solved problems like this (and like "linux" not being supported on Solaris). ncurses, near as I can tell, doesn't support anything like this. Maybe we could put together a portable (tar + sh based) solution that supports both termcap and ncurses on arbitrary unix systems? -- Raul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
