At least one should have a compatible license. Termcap is not a problem at all --- I portet GNU libtermcap to DJGPP V1.11 myself, a long time ago. Termios, i.e. Unix-style terminal access by escape sequences, is. It'd be equivalent to emulating ANSI.SYS, as far as I understand the issue. So far, individual packages needing full screen control have implemented this each on their own: PDCurses, Bash, Emacs, info.exe, to name just the most obvious examples. I.e. there doesn't seem to be any shortage of implementations to choose from. It's making the right choice among them that might be tricky. I don't know off-hand whether PDCurses has a working termios subsystem. If it has, that would be my prime candidate. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
