[Nmh-workers] nmh is Ncurses-based?
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Mail/muas.html says that nmh is Ncurses-based. Is that true? If so,What does it mean?

No, it is not ncurses based # ldd mhshow libiconv.so.2 = /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2 (0x2af0a6328000) libtermcap.so.2 = /lib64/libtermcap.so.2 (0x2af0a6609000) libc.so.6 = /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x2af0a680c000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x2af0a610b000) No nmh file links to curses, and especially not show which would be the most obvious command to use curses. However, my helper command vpick does use curses http://pthbb.org/manual/software/MH/vpick.html -- Free map of local environmental resources: http://CambridgeMA.GreenMap.org -- MOTD on Boomtime, the 22nd of Chaos, in the YOLD 3176: Think I've gone insane, can't remember my own name.

Re: [Nmh-workers] nmh is Ncurses-based?
It depends on what's provided on the platform. configure searches for available libraries in this order: termcap_curses_order=termcap curses ncurses libtermcap.so (and libtinfo.so) can be provided by ncurses on Linux.

It depends on what's provided on the platform. configure searches for available libraries in this order: termcap_curses_order=termcap curses ncurses I don't think that really qualifies as curses based, using an variant of a standard library that might be provided by (n)curses. And that is the only instance of curses in the core source code. vmh (visual MH) does use curses, but it doesn't even seem to build by default. -- Free map of local environmental resources: http://CambridgeMA.GreenMap.org -- MOTD on Boomtime, the 22nd of Chaos, in the YOLD 3176: Think I've gone insane, can't remember my own name.

I'm not sure what (n)curses based means, though I think that command line would be better.
