Seems to work fine for me, except that I can't tell where the mouse is
pointing. The arror shows up in the margins, but dissapears when it gets
onto the playing field. When I start it up, what appears to be part of
a terminal escape sequence appears in the upper left corner, but it is
then overwritten by the playing field.

Weber I was having the same problem myself. Try running the program directly from Unix, ( i.e, no window border) and it should work fine. I also get the escape chars. as well, but after you move out of the top corner, you don't notice it anyway. Bob Littlefield Sig? What sig?

I would be interested if any unix-pc graphics guru can tell me what is wrong in the program. (The ONLY way I can get the arrow to vanish is if I run mines with the ! from my office. Every other way I have tried works fine. (On 3.51) ). Since I have several other graphics programs waiting in the wings, and the graphics in them was mostly yanked from mines, I would like to correct the problem before I post them. Thanks to anyone who can help. Timothy J. Lipetz ...!att!cbzoo!tjl

Is it just dumb luck? What's going on. A note - the terminal escape sequence which is appearing on some people's screens is intended to clear the screen and turn the cursor off. But when it got to my site (and apparently to others), it was goofed up. It looked like the escape character had been embedded directly in the source, as opposed to specified as an octal constant. Big mistake... I suppose the escape character got stripped out at some site along the line. The original line in the source is: wputs(wn,"[2J[=1C"); and should be changed to wputs(wn,"\033[2J\033[=1C"); However, I had no problems with the mouse arrow even before I made this fix. The correct escape sequence just cleans up the display a little better. -- David Sandberg - Quadric Systems "I began neglecting my shoes."
