It writes random junk on the screen. I have already told them to check: - do you have the tty driver with ANSI codes - is your termcap ok - is TERM=minix and exported The answer is yes, yes, and yes, and it still gives junk. Has anyone else encountered problems like this or does anyone have any ideas? (I presume ELLE is widely used, since it is so much better than mined and ed, but I really don't know for sure.)
