I need a program for unix that emulates a terminal in a two-dimensional
array. In other words if I use this program as a filter between
me and another program I'm running, it would keep an image of
what my screen looks like in the two-dimensional array.
(On a microcomputer I can just read the screen memory-map to get
the screen image, but on an unix system the memory-map is in the
terminal which I cannot read from a program).

Ideally it would read my termcap entry and emulate that particular
kind of terminal, but if it just emulate a fix kind of terminal
that's fine also.

Long ago I've heard about a game-playing game called rogue-amatic,
I suspect this program might have such an emulator built in (in
order to figure out what is where). Does anyone know where I can
find the source for this?
