Apparently two messages by me got lost during the break-down:
o Anyone using curses (part of contrib to djgpp) ? I'm having some
problem with proper response of getch(). The curses libraray on
the SUN station I use comes with cbreak() to handle keystrokes
properly, but I couldn't find the equivalent anywhere in curses
or the djgpp libs.
o Now I am trying to do some graphics using either libgr or libgrx.
But I am having a problem getting things running.
I have a VGA graphics adapter with 640*480 resolution and 16
colors (that are mapped into gray shades). Sometime ago I used a
another compiler (it was MS fortran 5.0) and I could just set
my screen in ANY mode by supplying a number 0,1,2, etc to the
graphics setup routine. Now it's all different:
Whatever I set go32 drivers to, GrNumColors always return 256
even if I use the new graphics drivers stdvga.grn and set nc 16
If I use the djgpp driver vga.grd or the libgrx ega16.grd/vga16.grd
my screen turns black or I get weird characters on my screen.
However, if I use debug32 and at the >> prompt issue cls to wipe
the screen, I'm back to normal text mode!. WHY DOESN'T that work
in my program after GrSetMode(GR_Default_text) ???
o Anyone a hint on other graphics libs that may wotk with dj's gcc ??
THnaks for any help, suggestions & comments
