The patch by Max O. uses ntohs(), but streams are stored in littleendian, not bigendian byteorder. ncurses mouse-support was depending upon the gpm-library in an unhealthy way. TVision doesn't need to use signals, it can use the timeout feature in ncurses. And various other cleanups. >How-To-Repeat: I needed to use TVision on Linux as well as HP-UX. I tried the FreeBSD version of TVision, but found that some more patches were needed to get the library to work for me. I want to contribute my patches back to FreeBSD, in the spirit of Free Software :-) >Fix: Get this tarball with my patches: http://linuxcub.adsl.dk/linux/tvision-patches.tgz >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
