Problem: I have found curses to be unaware of special character attributes that cause several characters to occupy one physical space on the screen (i.e. a line drawing char- acter). Question: Is there a public domain version of curses available and has this problem been addressed prior to my posting this message. Thanks, David Geller Electric Logic, Inc. Washington, D.C.

Does anyone out there have a patch to 4.3BSD curses to allow it to
work with `magic cookie' terminals ??
Thanks in Advance

Has anyone implemented a data entry form manager or a screen editor on top of the Curses package ?? Any information or leads would be appreciated. Please respond to ulowell!andover!raha (UUCP). Thanks. Sainah Rahardja (posted by Peter Morris for Sainah)

Does anyone know a good reference for writing screen management
packages? I've looked at the description for "Advanded C Programming
for Displays" (as advertized in the back of the second edition of K&R),
but it's description is ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, I was peripherally involved with this. The original termcap-based curses was developed at Berkeley, and when Mark Horton took a job with Bell Labs, he developed terminfo as an improved version of termcap, and adapted curses to work with terminfo. The current UNIX System V curses evolved from that, and has been substantially reworked by several people. Pavel Curtis, desiring to provide terminfo without AT&T licensing, developed an independent implementation, working just from the specs. Neither AT&T's nor Pavel's versions are based on the other's code.

I have been having some problems with curses.
I was writing a program that uses curses and porting it over to SUN
workstations and have been having problems with xterm windows of changed
size. (window size was changed both before and after program was run)
I have used ioctl() to get the new size and caught the appropriate
signals and my program works fine except that curses doesn't seem to know
about the changed size and doesn't allow me to print outside the original
size of the window found in /etc/termcap
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

We have been having some problems with curses, and ar looking for a way out. Maybe some Ultrix guru can jump in here with answers. We have found that Ultrix in its sys V compatibility mode still has curses do ioctl calls to sgtty structures. We would have expected it to talk to termio structures. At any rate if curses does the call it somehow maybe makes it which means that there is some underlying finagling going on below curses -perhapsin ioctl. HOWEVER when we do ioctl calls to the termio structure - it blows, becuase somehow it still thinks its talking to an sgtty . Ie curses seems to know whats happening ioctl doesnt.!!!! Has anyone run into this situation, and if so how can we still do pinpoint control without using all of curses in ULTRIX.
