(Pico inherits it's settings, I think - maybe that's broken. ) You need to use a character set that includes the correct mapping of characters. We must figure this one out in a bullet-proof way :) as there is an interaction between the Lynx character set, the font that is used in the terminal-emulator, and the Terminal-type setting. (2) Also need to make sure that 8-bit characters are in use, on both ends, as the 7-bit character set doesn't have most of the accents. I wonder if the default terminal type under Linux has been set to 7-bit, in one of termcap or terminfo? (3) BTW, I would like to REPEAT the suggestion that was made some time ago, that both PINE and LYNX be linked against the SAME term... library by default in our CSuite build. (It's a compile option in Pine, I don't know for Lynx :) Then we wouldn't have those instances that keep coming up of a terminal type that works for Lynx but not Pine, or vice versa. (4) As an alternative, could we put a procedure in place (in the build or elsewhere, certainly document it) that checks if termcap and terminfo have been updated against each other? This is important if other system utilities have been linked against the alternate library (Running top on csuite.ns.ca from a VT220 comes to mind :) These would simplify system maintenance for other sites, as well as our own.
