Question for Rob re ncurses

Hi,

I'm trying to wrap ncurses, its a slow job, but there are quite few things in
there that I want.

See my previous posts re the errors I'm getting, (if anyone has any suggestions
I would be grateful), the problem is endwin causing a machine level exception
(I've tried the following)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--initialise ncurses
integer xinitscr
xinitscr = link_func(ncurses_so, "initscr", {}, C_INT)
global function initscr()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
atom pointer        
        pointer = c_func(xinitscr, {})
return pointer
end function


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--ends ncurses, returns to cooked mode
integer xendwin
xendwin = link_func(ncurses_so, "endwin", {}, C_INT)
global procedure endwin()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
atom rv        
        rv = c_func(xendwin, {})
end procedure

Have also tried

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--ends ncurses, returns to cooked mode
integer xendwin
xendwin = link_proc(ncurses_so, "endwin", {})
global procedure endwin()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
atom rv        
        c_proc(xendwin, {})
end procedure

both endwins produce the same result and mangle th console.

Now, my question is this - could there be some interaction with the 'on board'
ncurses already statically linked in the interpreter - if so would it possible
for youy to 'loan' me a copy of a non-linked exu to test this out?

Chris
