>Description:
I hope I got the class right, and this is not a bug so much as a request for enhancement.
The termcap database includes a definition for PuTTY that looks like this:
putty|vt220-color|vt220-co|vt220 emulator with ANSI colors:\
:pa#64:Co#8:AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm:op=\E[39;49m\E[m:tc=vt220:
This is good and works nicely, but does not support the full 256 color palette that PuTTY supports.
>How-To-Repeat:
Not really a problem. Just a suggestion for a new termcap entry.
>Fix:
I've added the following two lines to my termcap:
putty-256color:\
:pa#32767:Co#256:tc=putty:
It seems to work acceptably. Ultimately of course, I don't care if my suggestion is the official definition, I'd just like one that works. :^)
Thanks!
