Re: [Bug-apl] GNU APL shouldn't have to use hard-coded escape sequences

[Elias Mårtenson]

I will do this.

Also, I'm currently working on an Emacs mode for GNU APL. Is this something that you would be interested in? I've pushed the current version to Github, but practically nothing is implemented yet (not even the full keymap). You can follow it here though: https://github.com/lokedhs/gnu-apl-mode

Hi Elias,

true. Please send the patches.

Actually the GNU APL ESC sequences for colors are not that hardcoded (you can ./configure them).
But I agree that terminfo is probably a better solution.

Thanks,
Jürgen

The implementation of GNU API uses hard-coded escape sequences (VT100). A better solution would be to use the traditional terminfo library, which has existed since the 80's.

The code base seems simple enough, and changing the code to use the terminfo should be simple. I'm willing to help out and provide patches if needed.
