actually (this was a feature requested long ago) on Linux and systems where it's intended to be the system curses library, it defaults to /usr. I've seen 1-2 other complaints about this in the past year (am not sure how many more complaints would result if I removed the special case ;-) > (2) there is no difference in behaviour wrt the Unicode test files. well this is the problem we're focusing on. (This reminds me of a to-do item I have to add the ncurses version to lynx's version message, for bug-reports). > (3) there is a difference in treatment of background color: > using 'ncursesw', 'default' gives black & 'white' grey (Xterm & Konsole); > using 'ncurses', 'default' gives white. See ncurses' INSTALL file, where it notes that $TERM "xterm" is by default "xterm-r6". It would be nice to change that, but unlikely that anyone would agree with the change. I should make it a configure-script option, since few people read INSTALL. > (4) the error at the end of 'install-full' which i mentioned yesterday > does not occur when using 'ncursesw'. odd (I think that's unrelated though) > > it looks as if more needs to be done to get Unicode fully working on Lynx. > > HTH & thanx for your prompt responses, as always (smile). > > -- > ========================,,============================================ > SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies > TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto > > > _______________________________________________ > Lynx-dev mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev > -- Thomas E.
