Re: TN5250 and 132 switching at the console ?

[Michael Madore <mmadore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It depends.  If ncurses supports > 80 column mode, then it should be
possible (I think) to make use of it in tn5250.  I would have to double
check the code to make sure we aren't hard coding it.

You would have to put the console in 132 column mode BEFORE starting tn5250,
though.

I was thinking about writing a SVGAlib terminal type that would allow
something like that as well as allowing the mapping of the special keys like
ALT and SHIFT.  Does anyone have any interest in this?  I don't have a lot
of time right now, but maybe some day... ;-)
