- Problem:
- When I use 'ncurses.l' from 'cabrales.cs.wisc.edu' I get extra numbers
- appearing on my screen. I tracked them down to my termcap file. I'm
- using the termcap that came with my OSK 2.4v Force(tm) VME system.
-
- I thought I had fixed the problem by removing the padding numbers
- from the termcap file. (e.i. cl=50\E[;H\E[2J: became cl=\E[;H\E[2J:)
- and the '50' didn't appear on the screen anymore when I clear a screen
- with curses. But now things get garbled when alot of stuff is going to
- screen at different locations, and sometimes the screen only partially
- gets updated.
-
- Question:
-
- 1) What should my termcap look like for values that need padding?
-
- 2) Is anyone else using ncurses.l out there.
-
- Thanks in advance.
