I am trying to provide a "Print Screen" function that will be accessed from a location that doesn't know anything about what windows might be open, etc. Thus, I thought I could simply use winch(curscr) to find out what is on there. This doesn't work, however. Neither does looking through curscr->_y. What I have tried DOES work on stdscr, so I assume that curscr holds the information in a different manner. So -- does anyone out there know the internals of curses enough to do this? I've tried calling NCR (we're using NCR Tower-32's), but they don't know. To the best of my knowledge, we have the "Standard System V" version of curses. My version is relatively new -- has more routines than any I've used in the past (just over 2 pages of them as listed in curses(3X)). Can anyone help out? -- UUCP: ihnp4!rosevax!dayton!joe Joe Larson ATT : (612) 375-3537 Dayton Hudson Department Store Company (standard disclaimer...) 700 on the Mall Mpls, Mn. 55408
