I think it is there only because it is needed during the installation (and it belongs to ncurses-base). /usr/lib/terminfo/a/ansi is a symlink ti /etc/terminfo/ , but _only_ ansi (in a/ dir). ncurses by default looks for terminfo compiled files in /usr/lib/terminfo, and you have it there. > > Both TERMCAP and TERMINFO are unset.

I just tryed tput -T amiga <some cap> and got the correct sequencies. I re-read your first message and noticed that you refere to "Amiga terminal emulation" ncurses and terminfo are not for terminal emulation, on the contrary they allow a terminal (for example an amiga running a terminal emulator) to log in the host and run curses applications. ciao Fabrizio -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://megabaud.fi/~fpolacco/ Join the UKI Linux Project! | | fingerprint 70 1A 72 2D 2B C8 A5 63 7A C2 CC E0 2A 54 AE DA | | finger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
