I successfully compiled Andreas Pleschutznig's BPE binary editor (recently posted to comp.sources.misc) on my Microport System V/AT 2.3 box. However, when using the "string search" function, the curses function getstr() will not accept a capital P as input but terminates as soon as P is entered, returning the string up to but not including the P. This problem exists in small model only -- large model works properly. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a fix? The "sum" of my /usr/lib/small/libcurses.a is 36895. If there is someone out there who does not have this problem, could you check the "sum" of your small/libcurses.a and tell me if your result differs from mine -- maybe my file got zapped. Otherwise - Microport Techs, are you out there? Please check this out and fix it! Wolf Paul killer!dcs!wnp -- Wolf N.

This is a bug, and it has been fixed. If you need a work around, the CAP 'P' always returns a '\0'. If you need a fix ASAP, contact tech support. Otherwise, the fixed version will be going out with 2.4. -John
