display 1.2a misc =6

Runs command repeatedly; shows output
Maintained by: sjr@comcast.net
Port Added: unknown

---

Display runs a specified command over and over, printing the output
through curses(3X). The command can be compound and the delay
between executions is settable on the command line.  The output
from the command had better fit on a single screen, of course.

This can conflict with the application of the same name from the
graphics/ImageMagick port/package.

Update to display-1.2a, which incorporates our 8-bit character patch and
also unconditionally uses libncurses now.
Honor ${STRIP}.

- Add SHA256

Add the DISPLAY_PROGRAM_PREFIX knob to install display(1) under
a different name, avoiding conflicts with ImageMagick and other ports.
Bump PORTREVISION.

Fix a long-standing problem with displaying characters with the 8th
bit set: the return value of fgets() should NOT be kept in a signed
char variable, since passing that to addch() would sign-extend it,
setting a whole lot of attribute bits and resulting in a bold, blinking,
alt-charset display of e.g. all Cyrillic characters.  Instead, keep
fgets()'s result in an int variable, as $DEITY (dmr? :) intended.

Bump PORTREVISION for the functionality change.

Use PLIST_FILES.

Add back the clrtobot() call (or rather, do not remove it),   so display(1)
works correctly when a command produces less output   than the previous one.    

When compiled with X, ImageMagick conflicts with display.  Warn   users about
the conflict.  Squeeze the pkg-comment files so they   are less than 71
characters.    

Convert category misc to new layout.
