From Jack Parker: <Try this: < <TERM="" <export TERM < <Now run your 4gl executable. What do you get? < <I get a core all for my very own. Anyone else? < On SCO, your application just looks REAL WEIRD, pretty obvious that your TERM or TERMCAP is not set right. Try the same thing on your system with TERM set and TERMCAP not set, or set to a termcap file that doesn't contain an entry for your TERM. CORE DUMP! but not on SCO!!! < <Interesting half hour tracking that one down. (using a login where TERM had <not been set). I had fun with this one on a SUN, first time I encountered it too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Goodman | Data Systems Support Sr.Programmer/Analyst | 1228 Shelly Ct. internet : alan@dssmktg.com | Orange, CA 92668 USA bangpath: uunet.uu.net!dssmktg!alan | Voice 714-771-0454 Fax 714-771-3028 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
