Re: tcdialog loops without stdin

Hi Harald,

Hm... The next version will have a strict separation between batch mode
(if at least one cmd line argument is given) and interactive mode.

tcdialog comes with its own version of ncurses. To get relocatable
binaries, I don't use the compile-time path for the terminfo files,
but instead, texconfig passes
  TERMINFO=$TEXMFMAIN/terminfo

Hm... So, you have TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/teTeX ?
