Re: Pls help: can't rebuild terminfo after installing ncurses

["Mikey" <jeffdb at netzone dot com>]

did you get rid of the \r\n's in tst.c?
you now have a un*x system, any "text" that you send to gcc
or cpp must have LF only.

appended is a small program that I rewrote from djgpp source for linux, and
gnu-win32 to convert,
it will do disk files if given them on the command line, ie ./dtou
windows.h
gives you a windows.h with no \r's, ./dtou * converts all files in the
directory
and if called with no arguments stdin|dtou|stdout.
or ./dtou< windows.h > windows.new.

it will not work across mount points, unless they are on the same
filesystem.

if you link it to ./utod, it will convert the other way, \n to \r\n
ln -s dtou.exe utod, at least under win95, this works.

I didn't bother with ^Z since you almost never see it any more as an eof
except that micros*** aparently uses it to protect notes at the end of some
of
their header files.Well what can you expect from a company that is still
selling DOS in 1997 disguised as a GUI?
