Seems wrong to me. It's stripped out for historical reasons I guess. BSD systems have used to use termcap traditionally, but you probably know it already. So the question is why the history forces us to termcap, so I have to install /usr/share/misc/terminfo by hand.. Good ground for new (and at the same time old) holy war, isn't it :-/ -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
