Re: [cxterm-devel] change screen rows (25) in cygwin

[Hin-Tak L. <hin...@ya...>]

On my linux box, vi (termcap) doesn't have this problem,
but lynx (ncurses) does.

==================================
vi --version
elvis 2.1_4

lynx --version
Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001)
libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6c
Built on linux-gnu Apr 15 2002 17:51:47
=================================

Now that's an interesting difference - if I remember
correctly, cygwin ships vim for its vi clone. Also,
lynx on my system doesn't exactly break - it is the
*first* screen lynx draws which is of the wrong size;
if you navigate, it seems to figure out the screen
size afterwards. But the status stuff is still in the
old (wrong) place. So it seems that the
screen-refresh/screen-clear code is a bit broken.
