[comp.sys.atari.st] Curses for the ST

cabbie@chinet.UUCP (Richard Andrews) (06/03/87)

Well it really happened.  I blew away parts 2 and 3 of curses for the 
ST.  Could someone please email it to me?  I would  really appreciate 
it.

  Does anybody have, or know where to get, a curses package for the ST that
will compile nicely under MWC version 2.1.7? I have the package that is
floating around the archive site but I cannot get it compile properly under
MWC. Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Re: Curses for the ST

Speaking of curses, is there a *real* version of curses available
for the ST?  The only "curses" package I've seen is hardcoded for
the ST/VT52 screen only.  True curses supports any number of different
terminal types with the termcap database.  I know Fred Fish has
written a PD termcap library that will compile on the ST, but I
still haven't seen a real curses yet.

I have successfully compiled the curses version of the BSD4.3 distribution
which was posted in comp.sources.unix some time ago. I've used GCC for this.
This package needs a termcap library and Fred Fish's one does the job.

The request was whether there is a curses package for an other compiler
than MEGAMAX. I don't know, but the MEGAMAX one was easy to convert to 
TURBOC; so it won't be difficult to port it to MWC (i think).

The main change is to change the line containing overlay; this is
a MEGAMAX keyword and you probably don't want to know about it (:-)).
Just delete that one.
second, you can change the name of woverlay() back to overlay();
third, but not to essential: in the header file are the macros defined
as 
#define func(arg) { func1(arg); func2(arg); }. 
This can not be casted like:
(void) func( arg );
so i changed the header file to:
#define func(arg) ( func1(arg), func2(arg) )

Good luck, 
Klamer.

The curses package on him1.cc.umich.edu was written to go with MEGAMAX
C true, BUT I compiled it with Sozobon C with next to NIL changes if
any. I believe that it MWC should have no trouble with it.

There is a curses library/source for ftp on him1.cc.umich.edu. 
I used this package to port TETRIX about 2 months ago (which has since
been posted to the net).

Anyone know where this can be uucp'd from.
I don't have ftp access here and this is something
that I will need in the coming months when I port a translation
program from UNIX and DOS(ug) to the ST.
