I noticed there is a project for a samterm on the project ideas page. Has anyone started on this? It seems like a really good idea.
I guess ideally it would be usable without X (in text mode) but would still keep the nice view and selection interface. Luxuries like syntax coloring would be nice but really not critical. So on that note, it looks like curses is the way to go (as has been previously suggested). Then the issue is how closely our curses samterm would resemble bitmap samterm. Considering all the clicky menus and scrollbars and such, it may be best for the curses interface to be a totally different design. With that in mind, does anyone have good ideas for a curses samterm interface? I am enthusiastic about this project and I'd be willing to help, but I have never touched any curses code and my only familiarity with sam is the papers and an occasional sam -d.
