If anyone needs me to put money where my mouth is, I offer $100 via PayPal if someone in charge wants financial coercion to avoid putting in the X/graphical/ncurses crap for console applications. I'm dead serious.
I'll see your bet, and raise you $150.
Wow, so you're saying that you add $50 to my offer? If that's so -- nice. As it is, things work for me now, but just in case someone wanted to break it (it seems not!), I'd be paying to stop the breakage from getting into a release. Whitemailing of sorts ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-crime#Anti-crime
The requirements are:
- text mode win32 apps should not invoke curses unless they start using
cursor motion
Second that.
- text mode win32 apps should not use user unless they dynamically load
user32.dll
Yep.
- whatever solution is picked, it should be similar to the one used on
Windows NT/2000/XP
No clue here.
- wine should be able to run a windows telnet server
that invokes cmd to parse commands without tripping over itself.
Yes.
