Last updated Thu Nov 23 11:22:21 EST 1995 for ECU 3.37
I have finally landed a Linux system and have been using it
for several months. I use the system via telnet, and rarely
from the main console.
However, I can say this version has been thoroughly tested
under Linux 1.1.58.
In previous versions, when using ECU from the main console,
the ANSI filter was automatically disabled. When using
via the network or from another serial line, the
ANSI filter was lock on. Neither are any longer true.
See the documentation for the interactive and procedure
`ansif' command for controlling the ANSI filer, which defaults
to on.
One additional note: the Linux console sends 0x09 for both Tab
and Shift-Tab (1.158 does anyway). Therefore, I have
mapped the F12 key to the screen redraw key normally
supported by Shift-Tab. The ANSI filter must be on for this function
to work. See models/funckeymap and/or /usr/local/lib/ecu/funckeymap.

Bob Broughton a1040@mindlink.bc.ca (604) 451-8605 did the early
porting work and kudos go to him. Toomas Losin
(a776@mindlink.bc.ca) was also very helpful with the Linux port.
Most of the comments Bob put in this file in previous revisions
are obsolete. However, note the following which was still
required as of Linux 1.1.58.

Warren, I got this from the maintainer of ncurses:

You can get reverse video by changing smso in the console terminfo entry
to \E[7m instead of \E[1m
Could you add this note to README.Linux? I haven't actually tried this
suggestion, but you can assume it works, unless you hear otherwise from me.
