Very Computer

Hello,

I am working on a "curses" based application which runs great under AIX V4.2.0,
however when we run it under AIX V4.3.2 it fails to return the terminal
session to "cooked mode". When the application exits we get the shell prompt,
but characters are not echoed and we have to type "reset" and "ctrl-enter"
to regain the terminal session. Strangely, if we go through "telnet" we
do not have this problem, even if we only login to the directly terminal
terminal and simply telnet in again.

Any suggestion for this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
--Richard

Answering my own question, it appears we were able to fix this problem
by adding a seemingly superfluous call to "reset_shell_mode()" right
after calling endwin() in our AIX V4.3.2 application. This seemed to
fix the intermittent terminal problem.

Hope this is useful to someone out there...
