I'm sure there are a lot of things you're doing that are "the most perverse, backwards thing I have ever heard of", but there's no need to brag about it. ;)

- kazinator 3y agoLike taking advantage of formal standards that are ubiquitously implemented? OK, whatever. By the way, I don't agree with user db48x "backwards and perverse" assessment of Rosenthal's pterm. Rosenthal's clever program rather makes an ironic statement that all the proliferation of terminal languages is superfluous. Any hardware terminal with sufficient resources could have the termcap database in flash, and do the same thing: take a terminal configuration string somehow, like "ANSI", and just become that terminal.
