Well my mail bounced, so I assume that this is not > taking place. Or is it? Can someone who knows inform us all? I would really like it is pcvt had the X support that codrvr has. In this day and age, I find it really stupid to have yet-another-wimpy-termcap entry to need to be created, when a vt220 is a pretty darn good termcap entry. Also, thus far, I have heard very good things about pcvt's emulation. I sent some mail to the pcvt people to ask them about this, but have received no answer yet. <tdr. -- This space not left unintentionally unblank. deraadt@fsa.ca
