[comp.unix.microport] SC v4.1 woes

wtr@moss.ATT.COM (11/04/88)

Hi Y'awl :-)

just downloaded the SC (v4.1) speadsheet from microport's
bbs the other day.  i having some slight problems getting it
to behave properly.  we get the following symptoms:

	running sc with 24-line console and TERM=ansi seems
	to get it running, but the display is pretty hosed
	up.  specifically, it seems to want a 25 line
	screen.
	
	running with 25-line console and TERM=ansi25 core
	dumps upon startup.
	
	running 25-line, TERM=ansi runs, but display is
	still hosed to death (fields see to be shifted,
	etc...

	finally, entering a larger (5 digit or so) number
	locks everything up!  keyboard is lost, have to do a
	hardware reset.
	
	finally, i keep getting the infamous "array too
	large" error if i try to do a decent sized sheet!
	has anyone found a work-around for this yet?	
	
Compiling Options:
	microport SV/AT v2.3
	large model, NO optimization.
	20-col/40-row sheet.
	sys5r2 flags set in makefile

	had to hand compile some of the modules since the
	make bombed out on ';' seperated commands.
	
any suggestions?

thanx for the help!
