Is there a (good) reason that the default configuration for libmytinfo.a doesn't include terminfo support? I'm working on an enhanced print spooler that will support some/all of the `-o' options (to set chars/line, lines/inch, etc), and it would be very nice to use the same terminfo files I use under SVR4. All I had to do to include the terminfo support was 1) in /usr/src/lib/libmytinfo/config.h, change `#undef USE_TERMINFO' to `#define USE_TERMINFO', 2) make install, 3) mkdir /usr/lib/terminfo, 4) and `tic' my printer's terminfo file. I'd like to suggest that future releases (I know it's probably too late for 2.1) include terminfo support as the default. This change shouldn't affect existing programs that use mytinfo, since there are no terminfo files in a standard installation. -- Rich Kuhns rjk@grauel.com PO Box 6249 100 Sawmill Road Lafayette, IN 47903 (317)477-6000 x319
