From: "Marc G. Fournier" <scrappy@ki.net> Date: Mon, 8 Apr 1996 01:26:38 -0400 (EDT) =09Is *everyone* set against terminfo? If so, I'll work on 1.9.9 so that it parses only termcap and doesn't create a .terminfo directory, just sounds crippling to me :( One man's opinion: terminfo is gross over-engineering cruft, and more importantly it is a bother for sysadmin. As long as there is no need to bring in other software that depends upon it, it seems desirable to avoid the pollution.home | help
