Line-editing is Broken on MINIX 3.2.1 and NetBSD 6 #5

Open pikpik opened 11 years ago

On either MINIX 3.2.1 or NetBSD 6, typing anything moves the cursor further than intended. Deleting characters also moves the cursor and line-editing backwards, wrapping up to the top-left corner of the screen.

I could support individual platforms or use Curses. Curses should take care of this, but I'd have to rewrite a lot and add another library. I'd like to keep this small though. Maybe I can just use what I need from Curses.

This isatty code might help. It'll let me know if a program is using Msg.
