/*
* This little program demonstrates what I believe to be a bug
* in the SCO 2.3 development package curses library. During
* installation, the "terminfo curses" option was selected.
* The line that should be plain text comes out underlined.
*
* Note that 2.3.1 was shipped with the 2.2 development system
* so you must have upgraded to the 2.3 development system
* to get this bug.
*
* Compile as "cc -o cursesbug cursesbug.c -lcurses"
*
* Note, the order of screen painting appears to be a significant
* factor. If the lines are reordered such that painting occurs
* from top to bottom with no reverse motion, the bug goes away.

I have tried using attroff on an SGI 4D workstation, using release 3.1 of IRIX (V.3.2 based), and had the same problem. I strongly suspect it is a bug in the ATT release of curses. Jeremy Nussbaum Prime Computer 2 Crosby Drive, MS 16-2 Bedford, Ma. 01730 (617)257-1800 x6745
