Well, actually the terminfo database is about 1M unpacked, or about 1/3 of the total (due to the large number of small files, and large number of directories, usage is highly file-system dependent). On the next release of ncurses, I plan to split the libs/exe's and the terminfo database into two separate packages. I haven't decided what to do about the -src.tar.bz2 package for the terminfo-database part. The goal here is to make it easier to update the database without forcing everybody to download the whole ncurses package... Don't hold yer breath tho -- this is a round tuit problem. (It'll happen when I get 'round tuit). --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
