- Recently we are trying to port a curses base software(with lots of line
- drawing characters) to HP 8.07 plateform. But unfortunatly it just cann't
- display those graphic characters.
-
- The code looks something like this:
-
- main()
- {
- ...
- initscr();
- ...
- ...
- attrset(A_ALTCHARSET);
- mvaddstr(y,x,"qqqqqqqqqqqqqqq");
- ...
- refresh();
- endwin();
- ...
- }
-
- And we tried vt100, vt220 and vt320 from terminfo library.
-
- So our questions are:
- 1. Do they support such attribute in this version of curses library ?
- 2. If yes, is there any way to switch character set (hope it's not terminfo
- level function call) ?
-
- Anyone ??
