Message-ID: <7682@well.UUCP> Date: 19 Nov 88 07:09:57 GMT References: <7668@well.UUCP> Reply-To: Jef Poskanzer Organization: Paratheo-Anametamystikhood Of Eris Esoteric, Ada Lovelace Cabal Lines: 24 In the referenced message, I asked: >Has anyone written a tool to perform curses functions from a shell script? Response has been quite enthusiastic. Aside from the copy of "tput" posted by Rich Salz and the copy of "term" posted by David L Stevens, I got the following mail: Alfred Correira mailed me a copy of "getcap", from UNIX/World in 12/86. Greg Lee mailed a copy of "tput". David Elliot, Jeff Lo, David Connet, and Guy Harris all mailed pointers to "tput". Tim Rosmus mailed a copy of "kurses", which came from Marc Reis in 11/86. Jon M. Allingham and "somewhere!francis" mailed pointers to "kurses". Frank Rahmani mailed two copies of "tc", from mod.sources in 11/85! t patterson mailed a copy of "curse", from Jonathan Bowen in 02/85!! And John P. Nelson mailed the amusing comment, "About once every 6 to 12 months, someone reinvents this wheel." Anyway, as far as my original question goes, I think this qualifies as a "yes". --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@rtsg.ee.lbl.gov ...well!pokey "Has everybody got their mustard?"
