I would like to know if anyone has been able to get line drawing to work in curses. ACS_VLINE and ACS_HLINE are undefined here. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

I am trying to port software that runs on System V 3.2 to Ultrix 4.0.
I am having several problems with curses.
1. No support for graphics characters.
2. The routine getch() is *sometimes* returning different characters than
the ones I type in. For example, the 9 may return $ when typed, the 1
may return ' ' when typed. This only happens in the software ported
from system V. (It runs fine on three different System V machines)
I pulled out the module that reads characters and made a little test
program that just initialized curses and called the read module.
That works fine. I would like to know what is going on here!
3. I sometimes get left in a funny state when the program exits. For
instance, echo may be turned off or the scrolling region may be set
to only a few lines.
Here is how curses is setup:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cursesX.h>
main()
{
initscr();
cbreak();
echo();
nl();
intrflush(stdscr, 0);
keypad(stdscr, 1);
scrollok(stdscr, 1);
clearok(stdscr, 1);
noecho();
terrd(&inputd, &inpwid); /* terrd eventually calls getch() */
endwin();
}
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Jarom

Ultrix curses has been screwed up for a long time. I think there are some improvments in 4.2 - I'd use that for a base, then SPR them to death... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
