Not knowing terminfo is driving with your lights off
Several times I see in news groups statements like how do I program keys in UNIX. Or I just changed my emulator and get funny characters. This book answers those questions and helps with the understanding of how to build a program that works with any terminal and other applications. Knowing this book can save man days of speculation on why the control characters do not respond as you expected them to.
