It has other problems too, like being +#part of an outdated proprietary windowing system, but there's probably +#no need to dwell on that. In a sense, though, the sun-cmd termcap +#entry doesn't lie about the capabilities; I think the termcap man page +#does warn about some terminals having cursor motion capabilities only +#in the "ti/te window". +# +#A general solution to this problem would require a termcap capability +#which somehow tells which features are available outside of the ti/te +#window. There is no such capability in termcap now, of course. |
