Looks like overkill to me. It made lots of sense way
back then, but as you
are speaking of an X86 port and you can assume an ANSI terminal to be the
default and available, you may as well (at least as a start) do without
termcap and terminfo (BTW I'd bet you don't need support for almost none
of those ancient terminals).
I do not need curses or termcap or terminfo to work under simulated pdp
environment via apout in Coherent. As I said I can build
everything(using V7 make,cc ans as), it means I can work, and I do not
need ANSI terminal (if You have meant true VT100 terminal, and not
TERM=vt100 on PC, BTW apout for version 7 assumes as default TERM=vt100
). I was meaning building in pdp environment running in Coherent, and
not building in Coherent via for example a crosscompiler or so.
One needs termcap or terminfo if one wants to port more sophisticated
tools like vi etc.
What you can get is then a simpler screen-oriented text editor which can
easily be ported and then used as a bootstrap to port more advanced tools.
Namely, S from 'A Software Tools Sampler' by Webb Miller. I ported and used
it on both V6 and V7, and still use it on V7 on SIMH. Neat, small, easy to
port, usage alike vi, but much simpler... And comes with some other
interesting tools (actually my first involvement with that code was to have a
unix-like toolkit on eraly VMS long, long ago).
The code is available on the Net, but I'm including it here as an attachment
as it is not that big (52K).

Great, I will try it out. I have already tested succesfully more_v7 ,
which I obtained from Tim.
Thanks. I will let You know how it works.
