I am currently involved in some software development that requires
the use of the curses termcap library. Under terminfo, there is a
function called nodelay(), which makes functions such as getch(),
return a value of -1 when there is no keyboard input. What I
require is the same handling of character input with the ability
to turn the delay on and off, such as nodelay() and delay(). Any
suggestions, or remedies would be greatly appreciated. If your
solution is not worth netting about, email to the address below.

I am using Xenix SysV/386 2.3 and the appropriate development system. I have been compiling some programs using curses, and I wanted to recompile them using termcap instead of terminfo. When I installed the Devel system I chose the 'both' option, meaning I would have to use either -DM_TERMINFO or -DM_TERMCAP. When I do the compile I am told that it cannont find Slibcurses.a, can anyone tell me if this should be missing and just not documented or is there some problem with the installation or.....

I'm doing some work using curses and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is the correct way to test for funtion key presses. ... keypad(w, TRUE); ... c = getch(); if(c == KEY_LEFT) ... NOTE: I'm using a qvt101+ terminal and the termcap and terminfo values for the left arrow key is ^H. Anyone know?
