Message-ID: <188@harvard.UUCP> Date: Wed, 21-Mar-84 20:10:08 EST Article-I.D.: harvard.188 Posted: Wed Mar 21 20:10:08 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 23-Mar-84 07:17:04 EST Organization: Aiken Computation Lab, Harvard Lines: 15 Has anyone out there discovered any unusual problems with the curses package? I have a menu-driven program that works perfectly on a lightly loaded system but messes up as the system slows down. Sometimes the program will incorrectly finish updating a screen; the last three letters of the last word will simply not appear, even though the program is waiting for input (which usually shouldn't happen until the update finishes.) I had NEVER noticed this problem until I tried out the program on a very heavily loaded 11/780 running 4.1bsd. The bug is probably in my code, but I have no idea where to start looking. Please post to the net or reply to me directly. Thanks, R. Martin Chavez
