I finally did some low level experimentation and determined that UW had a small bug in it. Whenever UW receives a LF, it moves the cursor down AND TO THE LEFT COLUMN. This isn't UW's fault, really, it is just passing the LF through to Amigados, which is interpreting it as a newline. I have a patch for it, but not handy. Some time in the next couple of days I'll try to reproduce what I did and put it on the net, including a new binary with my fix. Once this change is made, UW works fine with a standard VT100 termcap, if you adjust the width and height values correctly. -- Steven C. Den Beste, Bolt Beranek & Newman, Cambridge MA denbeste@bbn.com(ARPA/CSNET/UUCP) harvard!bbn.com!denbeste(UUCP) I don't think BBN cares what I think about this stuff. And that's probably just as well.
