Message-ID: <MBPARKER.93May5110920@netcom3.com> Sender: mbparker@netcom.com (Michael Benjamin Parker) Reply-To: mbparker@mit.edu Organization: Netcom Online Communications Service Date: Wed, 5 May 1993 19:09:20 GMT Lines: 18 After Berkeley's Ken Arnold developed the curses now distributed in BSD 4.3 Unix, Bell Labs' Mark Horton wrote an extension of BSD curses, now distributed with AT&T System V unix as its curses. The AT&T curses adds valuable extensions to the BSD curses such as terminal control-keys parsing and character display attributes, and I'm porting some AT&T Unix software to BSD which takes advantage of these extensions only found in AT&T curses. So has anyone ported the extensions of AT&T curses back into BSD curses, so BSD can have all the functionality of System V? I've found no such thing executing ``archie curses''.
