It is the counterpart to the environment variable *_NO_SGR, and controls the same variable old_drawing_scheme. Why do you say that does not work? Have i missed something? I personally .. would not remove it. What if anyone uses it to turn off those ANSI sequences for her macro package? In fact _i_ would not have simply turned the new scheme on, but made it depend on some termcap or terminfo capability! This is what my MUA does, and if so allowed. Ie if "Co" is given we _do_ use ISO 6429 sequences and do not care for the rest (aka do not use the other termcap/terminfo sequences to generate the according strings, we simply use ISO 6429 -- i found that sufficient for all my thinkable options over twenty years ago i think, and have never been dashed). Iirc it is one of the "improvements" of GNU roff that i never got right. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
