You're rigth, again ! ;)

I still had no success with that! ;( If you could send me this source
code part it would be great for me!
I made the following program and it works as I want! When terminal don't
support it just shows as normal characters.
Meanwhile, this is sent to sdout ! How can I send this to a socket
descriptor!? To do that should I read the buffer variable till '$'
character !? It seems "$<2>" it's supplied by tputs to provide a certain
delay! If I'm rigth could I just send with write() function to the client
descriptor all characters till '$' character and I'll have always the
results I want !?
At the line with setupterm should I replace vt100 with terminal's
remote machine, rigth !?
--------- cut here ---------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>
#include <term.h>
void main()
{
char *buffer ;
/* initscr(); */
setupterm("vt100", 1, (int*)0 );
if(buffer=tigetstr("bold")) /* [1m$<2> */
{
tputs(buffer, 1, putchar);
printf("\n Just Bold.");
if(buffer=tigetstr("smul")) /* [4m$<2> */
{
tputs(buffer, 1, putchar);
printf("\nUnderline and Bold\n");
}
}
else
printf("\n Doesn't support bold");
/* endwin(); */
}

Thanks for the help.

P.S. Could it be incompatibilities when porting to freeBSD ? Could it need
to be compiled with -ltermcap instead of lcurses !?
