I agree, we should avoid heavy code with terminfo (termcap is deprecated). After some googling I've got an impression that almost all modern terminal emulators do supports vt100-like escape sequences. So we do not need real selectivity for terminal type today. I withdraw my proposal. PS. My short research results in this list of terminal name prefixes, indicating vt100-escapes support: "xterm", "vt100", "linux", "rxvt", "putty", "konsole", and lot of names starting with "vt"+digits. -- Eugene Berdnikov _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
