Yes and no. ncurses and similar programs make use of the termcap and other information to determine which set of terminal control settings to use. If you are doing anything advanced, you want to go through something like ncurses to ensure that your terminal based application will work regardless of what terminal someone is using. If you create something 'vt100 only' or linux-console only, then the program will only work in those specialized environments. --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> Any 'hardware assist' for communications, whether it be eye-glasses, VCR's, or personal computers, must be under the control of the citizen and not a third party. -- http://www.flora.ca/russell/ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
