I got valuable feedback from Thomas Dickey <dickey@herndon4.his.com>, who is the owner of ftp://dickey.his.com/ncurses/ where FreeBSD obtained the ncurses sources from. I confirmed that suggested modification works on FreeBSD (following is diff to original MKterminfo.sh). --- MKterminfo.sh.bak Thu Jan 2 20:22:55 2003 +++ MKterminfo.sh Wed Jan 8 00:24:12 2003 @@ -68,9 +68,9 @@ /%%-STOP-HERE-%%/q /^#%/s///p /^#/d -s/[ ]\+/ /g +s/[ ][ ]*/ /g s/$/T}/ -s/ [A-Z0-9_()\-]\+ [0-9\-]\+ [Y\-][B\-][C\-][G\-][EK\-]\** / T{/ +s/ [A-Z0-9_()\-][A-Z0-9_()\-]* [0-9\-][0-9\-]* [Y\-][B\-][C\-][G\-][EK\-]\** / T{/ s/ bool / /p s/ num / /p s/ str / /p -- Kazuo Horikawa On Mon, Jan 06, 2003 at 08:04:53PM -0700, Kazuo Horikawa wrote: > "Thomas E.

I see a better fix - had forgotten that the '+' mark is not considered part of the "basic" regular expressions for which sed is standardized. (I recall having some problems with lynx over this). I'll replace those with a different expression, e.g., [0-9]+ by [0-9][0-9]* -- Thomas E.

Formatted terminfo.5 page shows corrupt tables like: Variable Cap- TCap Description Booleans name Code auto_left_margin bw bw T} auto_right_margin am am T} src/contrib/ncurses/man/MKterminfo.sh produced the corrupt tables. (Is this due to difference between GNU sed and FreeBSD sed?) terminfo.5 is a part of src/contrib/ncurses.
