The problem I have with ARexx ports is that it increases the size of the program, and it's currently useless to me since I don't have ARexx. (yet) *sigh* > * Have someone made an Amiga termcap for FTERM to use? FTERM simply uses the Amiga console device. Here is the entry from SunOS 4.0 /etc/termcap for the Amiga console: # rough draft of Amiga termcap by Mike Meyer AA|amiga|Amiga ANSI:\ :co#80:li#25:am:do=\E[B:ce=\E[K:cd=\E[J:\ :cl=\E[H\E[J:ku=\E[A:kd=\E[B:kl=\E[C:kr=\E[D:kb=^H:\ :al=\E[L:dl=\E[M:le=^H:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:nd=\E[C:up=\E[A:\ :ce=\E[K:ho=\E[H:dc=\E[P:ic=\E[@:\ :so=\E[2m:se=\E[m:us=\E[4m:ue=\E[m:mr=\E[7m:mb=\E[7;2m:me=\E[m: It works rather nicely with FTERM, even getting the screen size right if you run vi or emacs or whatever. Defaults to 80x25 if it can't figure it out. (usually when you rlogin somewhere...)
