I am trying to port elvis-1.6 and I have succeeded except for one
small bug due to what seems to be a slight misunderstanding in
the termcap functionality.
Basically, Elvis seems to think that one needs to wrap each IC (insert
character terminal escape) output with a preceding IM (insert mode) and a
succeeding EI (end insert mode). But the IM followed by IC is causing an
extra space to be inserted every time I insert a character. Removing the
IM & EI output seems to work just fine. Is this okay or are the IM & EI
really necessary along with some other fancy stuff?
If someone can answer this soon, I will upload the compiled binaries
in the next couple of days. Thanks.
