Hi,
I changed GNU APL to use libncurses for figuring Input and
output ESC sequences if configured to do so.
This should make GNU APL terminal independent as proposed by
David.
The input (keyboard → APL) and output (APL → screen) can be
co
I wrote an ANSI terminal emulator decades ago. It's not a small task.
Even if you take a small subset of the control codes, there are still
some tricky architectural issues to consider w.r.t. how a screen-based
console would function within the transcript-based model presented by
aplwrap.
If you'
There was some discussion about setting the TERM environment variable,
which David Lamkins did for aplwrap, setting it to "dumb"--i.e., aplwrap
doesn't understand terminal controls. Nothing says it can't be made to
do so, but I've no idea at the moment the scope of work involved.
FWIW, though, I
This was fixed before but doesn't work anymore. I use it a lot, and having
it work just like GNU APL without APLWRAP is very useful to me.
Thanks.

Very good point. TERM=dumb is probably a good choice.
I've been shelling out to tput to get terminal-specific escapes. (The
tput command queries the terminfo database.) This is easy to do given
the pipe access provided by lib_file_io.
Please feel free to appropriate code from the package manager. You'll
need pkg⍙sh, pkg⍙utf_to_ucs (I believe that you
Hi,
it could be a good idea if aplwrap sets the TERM environment variable.
Currently it shows xterm (when started from an xterm) which could make

believe that the ANSI escape sequences would work.

Yes, it would. Basically it allows you to do screen control and the output
depends on the TERM environment variable.
We either implement a wrapper around pure terminfo which is quite
low-level. You have to make calls that create output strings using the
building blocks described here:
http://pubs.
I like this! Will it work in aplwrap and terminal?
Thanks.

I think it's time to create an APL interface to terminfo. I can build that
if no one else volunteers.

Greetings,
Some of my error handling code uses the bell (⎕AV[⎕IO+7]), and my editor
uses some ANSI positioning sequences. I think all I use is clear and go to
top of screen as follows:
∇
[0] E∆Clear
[1] ⍞←(⎕UCS 27),'[2J'
[2] ⍞←(⎕UCS 27),'[1;1H'
∇
Anyway to get that working?
Thanks
