From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Scott Perlman To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Subject: Random Questions.. Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 01:09:00 -0000 Message-id: <19981016133609.B11856@linguist.dartmouth.edu> X-SW-Source: 1998-10/msg00468.html I've got a few short ones, so I figured I'd combine them. I was unsatisfied with ansi as a term setting, so I started hacking together a terminal definition from ansi and xterm to hande thigns better. Before I do too far overboard has anyone done this? I'm finding that ported utilities that want to use curses function better in the crossbreed termcap I'm working on. (specifcally mutt so far) (I won't use the rxvt as it seems to require leaving a cmd shell of sorts around, and also doesn't seem to catch all its input. I tried to run a command line ftp in it, and it did not work.) Also does anyone have an inline/cli telnet for the NT Cygwin set? As I get this termcap put together I really see no reason not to have a telnet that works the same way I want things to work, as opposed to the window factory that windows is. Re mail: I'm not concerned about listening for mail locally, as I am running on a laptop that won't be online permanently, but I am looking for a way of sending mail politely. Basically a small CLI that will do just what sendmail does when invoked by a MUA, but hopefully has the intelligence to immediately send it if I'm online, but queue things if I'm not. Last, a semi-FAQ Rather than go crazy mounting things all over the place, I just created directories and symlinks. Will this bite me at some point? (and if so how?)
