In article <932@trotter.usma.edu>, Bill Gunshannon requested that I post the fixes I made to Allen Holub's version of Curses, which he published in the July issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal of Software Tools. Because I followed the usual procedure of making changes until it worked, I do not guarantee that every one of these changes is absolutely essential. Line numbers refer to the published listings. List- Line function Change ing # # name 4 186 newwin() reverse lines 186, 187 4 299 waddch() "default:" case should read: if(++(win->col) < win->x_size) { putchar(c); break; } else replace(c); /* fall through to newline */ 4 333 waddstr() Change: waddch( win, *str ); To: waddch( win, *str++ ); 4 340 wputc() Change: static wputc(c,win) WINDOW *win; To: static wputc(c, win) int c; WINDOW *win; 4 366 box() Add between lines 366 and 367: int vert, horiz; 4 445 werase() Change final parameter of werase() From: win->y_size To: 0 4 560 clear() Change final argument of doscroll() From: 25 To: 0 4 585 wclrtoeol() Change: replace(' '); To: if (win->col < win->x_size) replace(' '); 4 659 main() Change: win2 = boxwin(10, 20, 21, 11); To: win2 = boxwin(10, 20, 11, 21); 1 54 vb_scroll() Declare function parameters 1 117 vb_cursize() " " 1 198 vb_ctoyx() " " 1 215 vb_replace() " " 1 232 vb_putchar() " " 1 249 vb_puts() Declare move_cur To make the package work with color, I #define'd ATTRIBUTE to be 0x17 (white on blue), then replaced 0x07 with ATTRIBUTE in vb_scroll(), vb_replace(), and vb_putchar() (all in Listing 1, VBIOS.C). To change colors, redefine ATTRIBUTE and recompile. I had to make some additional changes to make the package work with a pre-ANSI version of Computer Innovations C86 (V. 2.30a). If anyone is interested in those changes, please let me know. For those who tuned in late, the source code for this package is available in DDJFORUM on Compuserve, or by mail from Dr. Dobb's Journal. _____________________________________ ___________________________________ Charles Taylor | Navy Regional Data Automation Center | "The symbol is not the thing Box 140 | symbolized.
