You're missing something. Vim used to have an ncurses USE flag, that would switch it between using ncurses and termcap-compat. On some archs, only ncurses was available, so some way was needed to force the use flag. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
