console story continues

[Marcus Brinkmann]

Hi,

for anybody tracking the console changes, I uploaded a new client to
alpha.gnu.org.  The files are named:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/libcons.tar.gz
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/utils.diff

The diff is for the utils directory, and adds a console-curses.c file and
makefile rules for it.  The libcons directory must be added to the top level
makefile, sorry, no patch for that.

The console-curses.c in this patch has almost all features the old one has,
only that it is based on libcons.  Console switching is not supported
anymore, but that is the very next thing I will add.

There is one display bug, which shows up when scrolling on a web page in
lynx.  At some times, the last character in some rows is not deleted.  But
it is deleted in the screen matrix, so this is an update problem.  An off by
one error either in the change record or in the clipping of the client.  I
have to read that clipping code over more carefully.

Thanks,
Marcus
