Unfortunately I do not know if there is some fixed standard for curses, but RT AIX, SunOS, BSD 4.3, and most other OS's that I have used initialize stdscr->_y to be a batch of blanks (after appropriate setup calls). The curses library for AIX 3.1 leaves this pointer nil, which is a major source of heartburn for most packages that I need to port. inch() will crash the program because of this, as does overwrite(). Is there some standard auxiliary call that needs to be made (that is a freebie on these other systems) ? Thanks, Peter ------ cassandra!peter@yenta.alb.nm.us
