Random Questions..

[Scott Perlman]

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?)

Thanks!

Have you tried my "run" utility? It fixes this problem in most cases - I've got
an rxvt shortcut that actually executes "run rxvt" on my system. You can get
run at ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/run-1.0.0_tar.gz

I don't know anything about this problem - I've never seen it.
