I think that was ncurses version 1.9.9 or something. I asked about this, for the case of mutt in xterm (XFree86) with ncurses or slang; ncurses ignores bold if the terminfo database says bold is not available (slang doesn't seem to check the terminfo database). After altering the terminfo for xterm to indicate bold is available, it worked. -- David Ellement

(yes, I could change that, but there's not been a lot of demand for 16-colors with bold). > -- > David Ellement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Hewlett Packard, San Diego Division -- Thomas E.
