Hi Program below illustrates a bug: lower case a, lower case f thru z, and number 0 are printed with graphic characters. This bug did not appear in earlier versions of slackware. If you make the window with a frame around it, (uncomment the framewin line) the characters are printed normally, and afterwards any window written to is also printed normally. program ncurtest; uses GPC, GPCUtil, CRT, FrameWin; var submenu : WinState; Data : array[1..3] of string( 32 ) = ( 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', '0123456789'); i : integer; begin i := (ScreenSize.X - 32) div 2; MakeWin( SubMenu, i, 2, i + 32, 7 ); { FrameWin('HELP: hit Enter to exit', DoubleFrame ); } FillWin( ' ', 16 * Blue ); HideCursor; for i := 1 to 3 do WriteStrAt( 2,i, Data[ i ], 16 * Blue + LightGray ); end.
