[comp.unix.questions] curses!

groc1@cs.aukuni.ac.nz(Guyon Roche) (06/25/91)

Curses is a good name for this problem.

I want to be able to control the cursor position in a form like move(y,x)
but would rather not have the side effect of ..

 'Segmentation fault, core dumped' that seems to result when I use the
Curses (or CursesX) version.

Can Anyone Suggest a good way to do this? or Where I might be going wrong.

E-mail is preferred.

Regards
 - Guyon.

It sounds like you haven't yet initialized curses (see initscr()).
