Wont start on AWS about ash HOT 8 CLOSED

Or is there a compatibility black-white mode to test?

from ash.

Seems to be a problem with the curses library, but will have to investigate. No compatibility mode at present, will look into adding it in an upcoming release.

Thanks, looks like there is some incompatiblity with init_color() and putty

" allows can_change_color() to succeed, but then init_color() would fail"

It also fails the same way in MobaXterm, which should have full color support based on this link.

Thanks for the info :) will close this issue then

Well a solution would be nice before closing :)

If putty and curses are incompatible there's nothing much I can do here. However, adding a black-n-white option would be a new feature (and not a bug patch) I will consider in an upcoming release. You can create a new issue as a feature-request for such a color mode.

No worries, I found https://github.com/zyedidia/micro it's a great alternative.
cheers!
