- richard@pegasus.com (Richard Foulk) writes regarding the lack of
- termcap in Posix:
-
- | A good example of the problem that half a standard (POSIX) creates!
-
- If POSIX is half-a-standard because it doesn't include Termcap then
- unix is half-an-operating-system because it doen't include all the features
- of VMS. And any book is half-a-book because it doesn't include everything
- from every other book on the face of the earth.
-
- You solve problems one step at a time. If you believe that a partial
- solution to a problem is worthless, and that only complete solutions that
- comprise life, the universe, and everything, are meaningfull, how do
- you ever get out of bed in the morning?
