I'm running Xenix 386 2.3.2 and I've run into something
that I could use some help with.
When using terminfo curses I can't get the "acsc=" string.
...
char *buf;
buf = tigetstr("acsc");
...
In the above call, tigetstr() ALWAYS returns (char *)NULL.
The same call on our Pyramid RETURNS the "acsc=" string.
It seems as though in Xenix tigetstr() CAN'T or WON'T GET
the "acsc=" string. tigetstr() will return other strings
fine (i.e. sgr=).
It's not the terminfo entry as that works fine on Non-Xenix
systems.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
Enjoy

Xenix tic is Sys V.2, not Sys V.3. I had the same problem, but solved it by loading SCO *UNIX* V.3.2's tic program onto XENIX! -- --------------------- He who laughs last laughs last --------------------- Hendrik Vermooten, ZEUS software TEL +27 12 64-5507, FAX +27 12 64-8382 Bang: ..!uunet!ddsw1!olsa99!zeusa!hendrik or hendrik@zeusa.UUCP ----------------- He whose laugh lasts longest laughs last ---------------
