From: timothy@tbucks.com Subject: screen colors and termcap? Date: Sat, 1 May 1993 14:34:09 GMT
I'd like to use tin adn elm w/ different screen colors, but when I use
setterm tin resets the screen to white on black. I tried different
numbers in the so=, se=, us=, ue=, md=, mr=, me=, and mb= lines in
/etc/termcap and then I tried commenting out those lines, but tin
_still_ resets screen colors.
1) Are these the only lines that have to do w/ screen colors in
termcap, and if so why will tin reset colors w/ them gone?
2) Does anyone know how to produce black type on cyan background, and
its reverse, using termcap? I have tried
\E[almost_every_number_from_1_to_255 w/ no success.
3) Is there any way to set the screen colors w/o tin,elm overriding
the selection?
Pls reply email as I no longer receive this group. I will forward a
solution to anyone who requests. Thanks.
