This directory contains the source for a library of bullet-proof
datum-entry routines which uses the termcap library directly. This
library (which I call libterm) also contains simple cursor
manipulation routines which make it a viable alternative to curses for
applications which don't require the power and overhead of curses.
Another version exists which rides on top on curses (libc_term).
The code is rather a mess and in some cases rather inefficient. That
is a statement not an apology. This was some of my first C code and
has been used extensively here and elsewhere with *NO* bug reports.
This same code was posted to net.sources about 18 months ago and a
trickle of requests has continued since then. If it ain't broke don't
fix it.
Permission is granted to copy and redistribute this code as long as no
money changes hands and this notice and the authorship notes remain
intact. Let me know if you find/fix any bugs. Enjoy.
