I usually call save_colors() just prior to initscr() and rest_colors() after endwin() and just prior to exiting the application. The routine has_colors() is a curses routine so this is only meant to be linked into a curses app. #include <curses.h> #include <sys/console.h> static int cur_tty[3] = { -1, -1, -1 }; save_colors() { if (has_colors() == TRUE) { cur_tty[0] = ioctl( 0, GIO_ATTR, 0); printf( "\033[7m" ); fflush( stdout ); cur_tty[1] = ioctl( 0, GIO_ATTR, 0); printf( "\033[12m" ); fflush( stdout ); cur_tty[2] = ioctl( 0, GIO_ATTR, 0); printf( "\033[10;0m" ); } } rest_colors() { if (has_colors() == TRUE) { if (cur_tty[0] != -1) { printf( "\033[=%dF\033[=%dG", (cur_tty[0])&0x0f, ((cur_tty[0])&0xf0)>>4); } if (cur_tty[1] != -1) { printf( "\033[=%dH\033[=%dI", (cur_tty[1])&0x0f, ((cur_tty[1])&0xf0)>>4); } if (cur_tty[2] != -1) { printf( "\033[=%dJ\033[=%dK", (cur_tty[2])&0x0f, ((cur_tty[2])&0xf0)>>4); } } } -- "A boy without mischief is like a bowling ball without a liquid center." --Homer Simpson

Does anyone out in the wide world of this newsgroup have any source that
displays text in color using curses/terminfo? I am trying to get (*ahem*)
nethack 3p10 to use color -- the hooks are all in there, but it seems not to
work in Esix.
Using strings, I found a call in libcurses.a that indicates if the terminal can
display colors (has_color()). It is true if the statement "colors#" is in the
terminfo for a terminal. Any ideas? Does anyone have a terminfo for the
console of a SYSV386 machine that they know works for color display using
curses?
If worse comes to worse, I can always hard-code the \033f;bm sequenece into the
output, but I would rather not.

I got it to work by hacking the code that sends the color info...I had to swap two things that were being set, because ESIX couldn't handle it in the order nethack is setting them. It is really the case that a simple edit to a couple printf's did the trick, and that finding the problem and fixing it took a couple afternoons for me since I didn't know where to look. I have them on tape somewhere if you are really stumped. I absolutely love Nethack, but it is a perfect embodiment of itself--it is a total hack. -- | Clint Jeffery, U. of Arizona Dept. of Computer Science | cjeffery@cs.arizona.edu -or- {noao allegra}!arizona!cjeffery --

Don't feel bad, I haven't gotten it to use color under ISC (2.2 or 2.21) and we are not the only ones. I started with 3.0i PL8, no joy on the color yet. The rest works great though. -- \ Grant DeLorean (grant@bluemoon) {n8emr|nstar}!bluemoon!grant / "You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."-C.A.

You have to use ``color'' and ``standout'' in your NETHACKOPTIONS. If you're using the Console device, make sure your TERM is at386 and not at386-m (the default) and you can also use the ``IBMgraphics'' keyword in your NETHACKOPTIONS line. This all works in nh3p9 at least. ---Kayvan -- | Kayvan Sylvan Unix/C, GNU tools 879 Lewiston Drive 408-978-1407 | | Sylvan Associates GUIs, Databases San Jose, CA 95136 Think Globally | | Networking, X apple!satyr!kayvan Act Locally | | === Currently looking for contracts === Hire me now!
