Attached is a prefix macro that I wrote over thirty years ago. It was worked on numerous versions of THE -- though it has required changes over the years. This is working for THE 3.3RC7 on a CentOS 7 system.

One way to do it. In your Linux home directory, create a file called '.therc' -- that will be used as the profile.

Look under 3.3 Release Candidate 1 Some .exe file there. -- Warren On 2/12/2020 1:18 PM, Akshay Chavan wrote: This is probably a stupid question, but how do I install THE on Windows 10? I downloaded the .zip file from SourceForge but it is just the source code. Is there a precompiled binary somewhere? I am really looking forward to using this editor.

I had to do one of these first: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev** sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev However, I was never successful in the end. Some error in vars.h unknown type name 'cchar_t' The only system I finally got it to compile on was CentOS 8. -- Warren On 12/12/2019 4:52 PM, Richard Steele wrote: I am trying to build THE under Ubuntu 18.04 but am having problems trying to come up with appropriate options for the bash script "Configure" to do so.

Van Dyke Software's product SecureCRT version 8.5.4 does not handle the ECMA-48 REP (Repeat) control sequence. Ncurses 6.1 now emits this control sequence for xterm (see http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html ) The vendor is considering this as a feature request.

So this is NOT a BUG for The Hessling Editor -- I pointed the finger at the wrong software. It's a bug with the Terminal Emulator that I have used (and paid for) for years! ncurses has changed with RHEL 8 /CentOS 8 . My apologies to Mark, please close this bug (non-bug) report.

The problem/issue described above is with TERM=xerm. On the same system (different terminal emulator) with TERM=xterm-256color, this is NOT an issue. That's helpful to me.
