364 days later... here's a patch that I think correctly adds readline
support to whatnowproc... some advice please...
(1) Is it really safe to wedge this in everywhere like Peter Maydell
asked for back on 12/21/2010??
Peter noted that readline is GPL, and there are some "BSD-ish"
licensed equivalents available. nmh currently doesn't rely on
any GPL code, as far as I can tell, and I think we should maintain
that.
(2) What's the nmh native way to do...
char *dupstr (char *s) {
char *r;
r = xmalloc (strlen (s) + 1);
strcpy (r, s);
return (r);
}
?
strdup(), and it's used other places in nmh.
(3) I'm not exactly sure why there are parens in some of the option
syntax listings like "(de)tach [-n]". I suspect they're indicating
"de" is acceptable (in a non-readline-world), and thus this code (in
a readlin eworld) should remove the parens?
Right.
David
