[comp.lang.c] Help with Curses Screen Dump

scot@cbnewsj.att.com (S.K.) (05/10/90)

I havent seen any curses specific news group so I hope this is the right place..

Heres my problem.  I want to be able to do a screen dump of an existing 
executable which displays a screen with fields. The problem is that I cant
modify this executable and do the screen dump from within it. I have to
develop another program which could either exec the existing program or maybe
run one or the other in the background.  Every time I try to do this though,
curses doesnt seem to know about other processes and my screen dump is blank.

Does anyone have any advice? Are there any existing programs that do this??
Any e-mail would be greatly appreciated.

If it matters, this is being done on a Unix System V 3B700.


Thanks alot,
Scott
