https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/terminal-simulator "This is a software simulation of the VT100 hardware. The original firmware ROM is built in and executed by an 8080 emulator. Other components include video display with character generator ROM, settings NVRAM, Intel 8251 USART, and a keyboard matrix scanner. The Advance Video Option is not included." Brinkhoff is something like a computer historian to my knowledge. I think he knows what he's doing. Regarding idlok() and scrollok(): I know the manpage. Unfortunately, nowhere it says what to do, so ncurses will actually set up the scroll region. After reading the source code, it didn't get much clearer. >From my understanding scrollok() shouldn't be necessary if the terminal has insert/delete_line caps. Perhaps I will build against a debug version of ncurses and step through with GDB, looking for the place actually preventing configuration of the scroll region. Best regards, Robin.
