Need a way to get attribute information from a VT100 emulator.

[Michael Vernick]

I am part of a testing group to test an interactive product.  The product is using
a Sun with a VT100 terminal emulation window.  The product is using curses to
manipulate the screen.  My group wants to test what is on the screen.  We can call
curses to get characters but we also need to know if a character is inverse video,
blinking, etc....  Is there any way to get this information via curses, the terminal
emulator, etc...?  Our only current option is to intercept all curses calls and
build our own data structures with the information.

Thanks,
