Apur-ee.110 net.general,NET.general utzoo!duke!cincy!pur-ee!davy Tue Jun 30 19:02:04 1981 Attn: curses.h users Recently, I've been doing alot of toying atound with the cursor control libraries (curses.h, ltermcap, lcurses, etc.). The other day I discovered what seemed to be a bug in one of the routines, only I'm not sure which one. I had declared 3 windows: win1 = newwin(22, 7, 0, 0) win2 = newwin(20, 5, 0, 0) win3 = newwin(22, 73, 0, 6) win2 was inside win1, in order that I might draw a box (using 'box()') around win2 yet be able to clear it without erasing the box. Anyway, I was trying to print a column of numbers in win2, such as: xxx xxx For some reason though, the numbers always came out as xxx xxx xxx instead of all lined up. I initially thought that I was causing some prob- lem with the scrolling, but I enlarged win2 so that I never came near the bottom right corner. Anybody got any ideas why this happened?? ------- Also, are the routines likw 'mvprintw', etc. working yet? We've got two curses.h files here (4.0 and 4.1 I guess), and I can't tell which one's the new one. ------- Finally, I'm curious as to what other people have been doing with the cursor routines. I'm aware of 'rogue' and 'vi', but has anyone else come up with something really neat? ------- Dave Curry (pur-ee davy) ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
