Seeing as we have readline() in the tree, would anyone explode violently if it were used generally for reading user input in the case of programs like lpc(8), cdcontrol(1), etc? We also have libedit, however it's significantly more intrusive in terms of usage. If readline() was riotously unpopular, this would possibly be a workable alternative. Does anyone actually use libedit for anything? -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
