This is not as clear-cut a case as you might think. The problem with the xterm is not that it is linux-specific, it's that it's too new for many old X windows systems out there. I feel that asking people with old systems to use a different terminfo entry is not such a great hardship, when it gives us the advantage of up-to-date support "out of the box". --Galen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
