a 4gl problem

Hello Sir, We use Informix 4GL version 4.15UC1 for application develpment. According to Informix-4GL Reference Manual Vol. 2. (I-30...I-34) we can use only upper left & right, lower left & right corner and horizenatl & vertical line in our forms by setting acsc in the terminfo. This seems that we can not use "T" characters as well as "+" for connecting horizenatl lines to verticals. We need these charcters ("T" and "+") because forms without "T" and "+" aren't userfriendly specially on our NCR terminals. I will be very thankful if you help us for finding a good solution for this problem. Regards, --Babak P.S. 1- We use Wyse-60, Wyse-120, NCR, Kermit terminal emulator (VT320),Xterm

There is no good solution for this problem - the curses library built into I4GL does not support the T characters. Short of disembowelling I4GL and replacing its curses library with something that does handle the T characters (as well as all the Informix colour handling extensions, and so on), there is nothing you can do. > P.S. > 1- We use Wyse-60, Wyse-120, NCR, Kermit terminal emulator (VT320),Xterm -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
