Hi,
(Sorry if this hits the list a couple of times, I had some problems with my mail
system)
I never thought I'd see "clear" break :-) Here's a fix.
It seems to be down to an ncurses change in tgetstr(). The implementation in ncurses
just ignores the "area" parameter, while the one in libtermcap is does something quite
bizzare with it. tput.c relies on the old functionality.
A better patch would probably be to the manpage, though. It doesn't even mention the
"area" parameter, apart from in the synopsis.
I wonder if "cls" ever broke on DOS?
