Description Erling Jacobsen 2004-09-09 22:20:20 UTC 
The TVision library needs some extra patches. The patch by Max O. uses ntohs(), but streams are stored in littleendian, not bigendian byteorder. ncurses mouse-support was depending upon the gpm-library in an unhealthy way. TVision doesn't need to use signals, it can use the timeout feature in ncurses. And various other cleanups.

Fix: 

Get this tarball with my patches: http://linuxcub.adsl.dk/linux/tvision-patches.tgz
How-To-Repeat: I needed to use TVision on Linux as well as HP-UX. I tried the FreeBSD version of TVision, but found that some more patches were needed to get the library to work for me. I want to contribute my patches back to FreeBSD, in the spirit of Free Software :-)

I have contacted Max Okumoto to integrate your patches into the sourceforge 
project. 
There are now too many patches, time to realease a new version.

Against which version are your patches? 

- The orignal bei Sergio Sigala 
- The current version of the FreeBSD port 
- The latest version of stl-tvision from sourceforge 

Two patches, no-endian-h and timeout didn't apply.

I did not look at closing this PR in three years and noone else seemed to be 
interested either. So close this PR. 
I have put everything related to the freebsd-tvision port up at  
http://people.freebsd.org/~arved/tvision.html in case anybody is interested in  
taking this up again.
