Message-ID: <8180@brl-adm.ARPA> Date: Mon, 6-Jul-87 16:02:58 EDT Article-I.D.: brl-adm.8180 Posted: Mon Jul 6 16:02:58 1987 Date-Received: Tue, 7-Jul-87 06:40:45 EDT Sender: news@brl-adm.ARPA Lines: 11 I am writing something that uses curses (ultrix on vax 8600). The code I am writing calls a function that returns a string and then calls curses to put this on the screen I am only using stdscr and curscr, no intricate windows etc. Addstr() gave me garbage ( it only printed the first letter of the string returned by the function). Printw() worked fine. Why?? Jerry Freedman jfjr@mitre-bedford.arpa
