- I'm on a Starserver E running SYSV R4.0 V3.0 and Informix 4GL 4.0.UE2.
- I'm having trouble with the graphics feature.
-
- 1) My upper and lower right hand corners are reversed.
- 2) My smacs entry reads like this:
- smacs=\E$,
- The problem is that the $ is confusing the 4GL app. A X millisecond
- pause is represented by $<X>. The app. seems to be seeing the $ as
- the beginning of a pause rather than just a $. The result is that
- whatever comes next in the terminfo file gets piggy-backed onto the
- smacs string. The next entry is smso, so whenever I go into graphics
- I'm also in reverse and I don't go out until a reversed string is
- finished being displayed. This is a problem.
-
- Has anyone else run into any other pot-holes in the term drivers for 4GL
- that I ought to know about?
