Package: links
Version: 0.95

When I try to use links at a Wyse 60 terminal, I see all the escape
sequences on the screen.  They must be escapes sequences for either
vt100 or linux terminals.  My WYSE 60 terminal works fine with lynx.

Then on my other terminal (almost a vt100) lynx will work only if I
set the terminal to no parity and 8-bits/char.  But I have it set by
default to odd-parity and 7-bits/char and this works fine with lynx,
etc.  Stty shows the same.  Then when I start links, it changes the
"stty" settings to no-parity and 8-bits/char.  Since the terminal
itself (done by the "set-up" key on the terminals) is still set to
parity and 7-bits/char, I get mostly error characters on the screen.

Links claims to use ncurses which should make it work OK on dumb
terminals.  But it doesn't.

links does not work on dumb terminals. it probably never will, as
its principal design based on full screen random access visuality.

links is not lynx, so when lynx works on a terminal it does not
mean links will do as well. if lynx does work for you, you shall
use it.

Please tell me where does it say that it is/uses ncurses. Every mentioning
"ncurses" is a bug to be fixed.

links' manpage (and several webpages) claim that it uses ncurses.

As a matter of fact, I pointed this out to the person who claimed
to have written the manpage, over a year ago, and he didn't want
to change it.  It's also been noted in at least one Debian bug report
w/o effect.

thanks for the comment.

you are welcome to send a patch to fix the problem.
the upstream does not intend to, similar requests
have been sent to /dev/null in the last year.

You don't expect me to fix those, do you?

Hey, I am the debian package maintaner, and not the saviour of the

Report bugs in the package only, the bugs in the World(tm) shall

This is the same bug you are bugging me about. 

If you check it in 5 minutes, it'll be marked properly as well
(tag +wontfix, severity wishlist).

Again, you are welcome to submit a patch, and I'll happily test
and include it. (But I doubt dumb terminal users are the main
target of the browser anyway.)
