Ever the FreeBSD advocate of the group, I would like to share something I discovered this weekend.
If you're using tlf on FreeBSD, 'aterm' is your friend. I've tried running tlf on my laptop console [setting TERM as 'linux' and various other types] and it is really a mess. So, I run tlf while running X11. The standard xterm doesn't have the keyboard functionality that makes tlf useful. 'aterm' <http://aterm.sourceforge.net/> gets 80-90% of the complete functionality of a standard terminal. The F1 key doesn't work [and in my window manager WindowMaker, the F11 and F12 keys are already spoken for], the alt-# keys are also controlled by my window manager, but everything else seems to work pretty well. So, if you can do without 24 different pre programmed messages [or tweak your UI so that you can] 'aterm' in X11 with FreeBSD is a winner. I'll figure out what window manager works best [i.e. doesn't map the other function keys or the alt-# keys] before two weeks. -- 73, Jim N0OCT _______________________________________________ Tlf-devel mailing list Tlf-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tlf-devel
