+From the authors of cancan:
+
+ THINGS TO DO
+ Cancan should know the codes of at least some keys
+ by looking in the TERMCAP. (especially control keys are trivial!)
+
+ - Run (a)lint!
+
+ - There seems to be problems with running cancan on exotic terminals.
+ This defeats the very purpose of all the carefully terminal-
+ independent code with TERMCAP, and is generally embarrassing.
+
+ - more system calls should be checked for EINTR for sysV unices
+
+ - negotiate the telnet BINARY option
+
+ - support the telnet IAC GA command to identify prompts
+ (But what for? Prompts have to be identified as such in the absence
+ of GA anyway, and there doesn't seem to be a need for it right
+ now.)
+
+ - implement reverse-incremental-search (like ^R in GNU Readline)
+
+ KNOWN BUGS
+ - Deleting more than one character with deletechar() might leave
+ ugly traces on lines that are entirely deleted.
+
+ - using #hilite with coloured background might have effects beyond the
+ input line, depending on the terminal (don't do that, then :-)
+
+ FUTURE POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS
+ Do some more for portability (clean up the terminal mess)
+ The source should be more modular
+ Filtering output through shell command (grep etc)
+
+
+THINGS TO DO/PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS on powwow:
+ - make a better #help
+ - add termcap `end of bold', `end of blink' etc.
+
+ If you have ideas, suggestions or whatever, e-mail them to me
+ (max@Linuz.sns.it) and if I find them interesting, I will add them.
+ Also, I am trying to keep powwow updated with further releases
+ of cancan.
