I am trying to write a curses program on systems that run on termcap (I'm used to terminfo). I've tried many times to have a '^L' clear and refresh the screen with the following code with no success : clearok (win,TRUE); wrefresh (win); The exact same code works on terminfo. I've tried this on a 4.1BSD and a 3.0 USG (I think that's what it's called). The only way I've been able to force a refresh is : clear(); refresh(); touchwin (win); wrefresh (win); Is that the only way to do it or am I doing something wrong ? Another question, how do I deal with ^Z on BSD systems ? All I get is a segment fault when I try to foreground the curses program. -- ==> Ephrayim J.

#R:pegasus:-137800:ism780:13300001:000:326 ism780!larry Jun 6 10:13:00 1984 To refresh the screen upon seeing ^L, try simply wrefresh(curscr) Because curscr is a "screen", the display will always be zapped before the refresh, insuring a complete rewrite. I can't explain your problems with ^Z, if you are really running on a BSD system. The module tstp.c is supposed to deal with the STOP signal.
