Sort of. many terminfo entries have dependencies on other entries, so it's not that simple. for a bare-bones terminfo database, take a look here: http;//www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygwin.terminfo-5.2-5 and run tic on it. It'll create a minimal set of entries (including cygwin) that takes only a few K. --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/
