Mar 16, 2018 at 7:28 comment added JdeBP That was wrong, note. The linux terminal type does not describe PuTTY, and the very first sentence of the ACUCOBOL doco explains that the right thing to do is set up an entry describing PuTTY.
Mar 15, 2018 at 9:38 comment added MC Emperor By the way, I'm using the PuTTY client. putty was not a valid entry within the a_termcap file, so I changed it to something the ACUCOBOL runtime would even understand.

Mar 15, 2018 at 9:23 comment added Thomas Dickey It doesn't matter - almost all of the available terminal emulators copied xterm's behavior. The actual question is whether ACUCOBOL can manage more than 8 colors (it cannot).

Mar 15, 2018 at 9:02 comment added JdeBP Linux's built-in terminal emulator does not have scroll bars, either. Are you going to tell us what terminal emulator you are actually using?

Mentioned black and white bright.
Mar 15, 2018 at 5:27 comment added JdeBP The image is not from Linux's built-in terminal emulator, which does not produce the effect claimed in response to those control sequences. That is some other terminal emulator, not the Linux built-in one.
