Subject: Re: TechInfo/DECstation/Curses bug

I've fixed the problem I was having with TechInfo running on a DECstation.
(The first line in each menu was displayed incorrectly).

It turns out there is a bug in DEC's Curses implementation such that
when Curses outputs a tab in the last column of a line, it expects the
cursor to move to the next line, but it doesn't.

Here is a fix to disp.c to solve this problem:

< 
< #ifdef CURSES_AM_BUG		/* Earl Fogel, Dec 9, 1991 */
< 	clear();
< 	do_redraw_window();
< #else

< #endif
582,586c575
< #ifdef CURSES_AM_BUG		/* Earl Fogel, Dec 9, 1991 */
< 	move(2, 0);
< 	addch(' ');
< 	refresh();
< #endif

< 			refresh();
< #endif

< 	addch(' ');
< 	refresh();
< #endif
