O'Reilly & Associates (981 Chestnut Street, Newton, MA 02164) has two very well-written books: "Programming with Curses" by John Strang "Termcap and Terminfo" by John Strang, Tim O'Reilly and Linda Mui You should rush right out and get a copy of both. Put your name all over them right away, because every programmer in the vicinity will try to steal them. They are about two orders of magnitude better than anything else I've seen on the subject. Of course, if someone knows of anything as good or better, I'd like to hear about it. -- Uucp: ...!{harvard.edu,ima.com,mit-eddie.edu}!minya!jc (John Chambers) Home: 1-617-484-6393 Work: 1-508-952-3274 Cute-Saying: It's never to late to have a happy childhood.
