- The Subject: line pretty much states it ... basically, I like vt100 emulation,
- but I don't like how it limits me to certain terminal programs.
-
- I'm wondering if I can go ahead and use ANSI mode on my terminal program, and
- have a termcap entry for it. That way, I can set underlined text to one
- color, inverse to another, bold to another etc ... If I use vtxxx, I'm
- basically held hostage by the program's emulation -- many programs don't
- show underlining in a different color, etc.
-
- Of course, I'm not quite sure how to implement this termcap entry either (just
- use a setenv TERMCAP ..., right?) so some quick instructions on how to do that
- would also be appreciated.
-
- Thanks ...
- Doug
