[comp.sys.pyramid] Curses in OSx4.4 having problems ...

tim@brspyr1.BRS.Com (Tim Northrup) (06/01/89)

Has anyone else noticed a problem with curses in OSx4.4?

We had a local application, compiled under ATT universe, using curses an earlier
version of OSx (3.1 maybe?), and at the time it was working just fine.  Since
we upgraded to 4.4 we have noticed some annoying things that I cannot seem to
get rid of.  The main problem is that whenever cursor locates are requested
with one of the mv???() routines (mvaddch(), etc), it doesn't always get done.
This causes some really garbled screens (and Tetrix is REAL difficult to play).

I tried adding delays to the cursor motion entry in the terminfo file for my
terminal, but that had no effect.

Any help would be appreciated!
