This should be enough! The standard class which writes onto the screen is
"JavaTerminal" which uses the properties defined in "termcap.ini". However, the
"Terminal" class file associated to a given term-type (e.g. VT100, ANSI) is
also defined in "termcap.ini", so you may implement a class which class C
native methods (for example). In addition, the property file "termcap.ini" is
virtualized by the interface AbstractProperties and created by the
TerminalPropertiesFactory class. Using this mechanism, you can use other
terminal capability definition methods instead of a file-based one.

OK!!!!
