I think that shares some functionality with what we want to do, but it uses curses, which is a concept we are definitely trying to get away from. The basic concept is "terminal handling can be done generically with just a few standard ANSI escape sequences that pretty much all modern terminals can handle". > Also in my opinion session handling / detach support is a separate > issue and should be handled with dtach or a similar standalone > program. A agree that this is a separate issue, best dealt with by some other program. Though no reason why that other program could not be some other toy. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
