There's also one called "aC" that's included with the O'Reilly "Termcap and Terminfo" book, and there are three or four of them in the comp.unix.sources archives (if I remember correctly, Archive #27 has one of them). Basically, you run it, and then step through it, and it tells you should see, and if you don't see what it tells you you should see, then you correct your termcap entry so that the output becomes more correct. It will test things like "AM" and "AW", etc., which are common places implementations of termcap entries are broken. -- TErry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
