I trying to write an application using the curses library (for the first time). My application will fork & exec two process. One will use curses to output on a 80 by 22 cell window. The other will accept key strokes and output on an 80 by 2 window. My terminal size is 80 by 24. Basicly I want to divide the screen into 2 parts. I think each application will need to create a stdscr of 80 by 24 and then create a sub-windows & position is sub-window correctly. Is this the way for two processes can share the screen? How can I prevent the cursor from jumping around while the user is type when another process is updating the screen?
