terminfo, termcap, etc

[BALDWIN]

>"what the hell more do you want?" Sounds like a nasty attitude Mr.  Baldwin.

I apologise for the snipey remarks.

>The terminfo files may be easy to parse but why should I go thru all that
>bother when it's much easier for AT&T to provide a program to dump the
>terminfo file?

I agree.

>Now we find out (from you) that AT&T does have a program
>(infocmp) for the not-yet-released System V.3.  Does this mean AT&T
>recognized the need for such a program?

Of course.  That's why I mentioned them.

>So what's your
>problem Mr.  Baldwin?  Why are you jumping down the throat of some
>frustrated user?

Because the frustrated user was ranting and raving.  If I flame
about you, you have every right not to be civil to me.

>This is not a good sign of your understanding of the
>Customers' needs.

I understood exactly what the needs were.  I just didn't like
how they were conveyed, and the misinformation along with it.
The user gets to yell and scream, but I don't?  Feh.
If you talk reasonable, so will I.
