G'day, can anyone give me a reason why when I call the getstr(), wgetstr(), scanw(), wscanw() curses library functions, the program just hangs and refuses to budge ? wgetch() and getch() work fine - as long as i do a nocrmode() call first (else they hang too). a forced core dump of the program while it is hung shows it to get stuck in the read() call. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to get these functions to work properly ?? please reply via email. thanks, -avalon
