When using terminfo curses I can't get the "acsc=" string. ... char *buf; buf = tigetstr("acsc"); ... In the above call, tigetstr() ALWAYS returns (char *)NULL. The same call on our Pyramid RETURNS the "acsc=" string. It seems as though in Xenix tigetstr() CAN'T or WON'T GET the "acsc=" string. tigetstr() will return other strings fine (i.e. sgr=). It's not the terminfo entry as that works fine on Non-Xenix systems. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
