[comp.windows.x] xterm/curses/tn3270 losing characters

jsparkes@bcars85.bnr.ca (Jeff Sparkes) (09/06/90)

	We're having a bizarre problem with tn3270 under HP-UX 7.0.  It
occurs both with 6.5 and 7.0 binaries.
	What happens is that occasionally the entire screen isn't redrawn.
It's the sort of problem emacs has with older terminals with no flow control
and improper padding.  I thought that it would be impossible for xterm to
lose characters like that.
	Since the old binary exhibits the problem, I think I can rule out
curses.  The problem may be in the termlib entry, but it hasn't changed.  Is
xterm the culprit?  Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
