Lines: 30 SCO's 3.2.0 Dev Sys terminfo curses seems to go crazy (*) when fed 8 bit characters -- Does anyone know if it's fixed in the rev 2.0 Dev sys, and if so, does anyone know how much the upgrade co$ts, and more importantly, what the part number is ? (I got a *real dumb* supplier -- quoting part numbers is the only way to get any sense out of him -- and don't ask me to change suppliers -- managment directive sez "buy from this sister company or else buy nothing" :-( ) Thanks for any help. -- (*) "crazy" in this sense: with this program - $ cat foo.c #include main() { initscr(); addch(0243); refresh(); endwin(); } $ cc -DM_TERMINFO foo.c -ltinfo I expect a pound sign on an ISO Latin 1 terminal, or a u-acute on a PC console. Instead I get a flashing blinking screen full of carets. Sigh. Strangely enough, it *does* work when I add a -xenix flag, but then GDB doesn't. Sigh. -- Ronald Khoo +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
