Yep, it's a quick port, not amiga-ised. There is a guy out there somewhere doing a real Amiga port, and I have not got the time to do it myself. There has been a complete major release since I started my port, so I've been putting it on hold. This program is a teaser and an incentive for the guy doing the real port to get it done. > How do you get this program to run. Put the termcap file in S: under the name "termcap", set your TERM environment variable to "amiga" and type "elvis". The "termlib" library it uses as previously been posted to alt.sources.amiga. I could post it again if it might encourage someone with more time to spare to get the port done right. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
