Ah, ok. I was thinking that readline might have needed some help; most other ncurses clients do... Obviously, whatever Eric thinks is best. As an aside, ncurses has the ability to split the term handling into a separate library (libterm) but I haven't enabled that on cygwin. The design of that "split" has some unsatisfied symbols issues, so you can really only do it on ELF platforms. :-( Anyway, I wonder if readline could be built against libterm on linux -- if so, it would prove your point. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
