I have two computers, identical, which started out with RedHat 3.0.3 and
have been thoroughly RPM'd. Both are running ncurses-1.9.9e . On one
system everything is fine. On the other, line-drawing characters appear
as various other characters. It really appears to be a character set
issue, but everything I've check between the two machines is the same!
Any suggestions on resolving this? . . . Anyone?
TIA,

I hope I'm not totally off track.
Good luck,

1. CURSES QUESTION: how do you 'shell' from curses?
1) I'v got a program opening many windows. That program needs to 'leave' curses
to execute another program using a system() call. How do I exit curses without
loosing the contents of every window?
2) My second question deals with the same problem. I need to catch the SIGWINCH
signal and resize every window upon reception of that signal. What is the
proper way to do this? Do I have to call endwin() and initscr() again to
re-initialize some internal variables used by curses?
