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

[<ho...@ya...>]

Thank you. I tried with 5.2.2 by appending the termcap
and converting the terminfo file with no error. But vi
and lynx still behave the same, only 25 lines. Resize
still doesn't work. Since my system is a little bit
messy right now, I will continue trying (cvs 5.2.4).
Thanks again.

John
