Run "cap_mkdb /usr/share/misc/termcap" when you're done. That should make FreeBSD use cygwin's updated termcap entries. If this fixes your problem, use send-pr to file a FreeBSD bug on it. If it doesn't, file a bug with cygwin, asking them to update their own termcap entry :) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
