[comp.unix.wizards] New CURSES feature

rgb@nscpdc.UUCP (04/11/87)

    While trying to make SC come up on System V.3, I came across a new
    curses "feature".  For some reason wgetch() now does a refresh() if
    the window has been changed.  This breaks SC.  It is not
    documented.  I would like to tell curses when to refresh my screen,
    not have it make its own schedule.  Can anyone tell me why this was
    done?
    
    On the same subject, curses.h now defines SYSV for me too, based on
    some fairly unsound heuristics.  Another nice feature.
