Greetings, I am trying to use NCurses-4.1 under FreeBSD 2.2.5 running on a 486. The package compiled fine, but when I try to run *any* of the test programs that come with the package, I get to following error: Error opening terminal: cons25 I have had very little luck finding much information on using or configuring curses or ncurses. Also, I can't seem to find any information on how to set a terminal type. Is there anything special about cons25 that makes it a better choice for the console than say some VTxxx terminal type? I'm writing several programs in which I need full screen, color, cursor, and key control. The programs will always be run from a console in 80X25. Last, if this is getting posted to a list, how can I get on it? Thank you, Matthew Hagerty wpub1@net-link.net
