that doesn’t sound right either way: I see no special code in the qnx
terminfo for tab; a few of the function-keys end with a \0, which a
program would see as \200.Because this is my first experience with ncurses I wrote a small test
program to show me the key codes returned by getch(). My program tells me
(using keyname() ) that the TAB key is just ^I. So far so good. On a photon
pterm window, the SHIFT-TAB key returns KEY_BTAB. On the QNX console
SHIFT-TAB returns \200. Since you say it doesn’t sound right either way I am
well, if that’s what it returns, ok - I was commenting lest you were using
the string returned by tigetstr, which would replace an embedded null
character with \200.
now confused as to how special keys are mapped to key codes. Should
SHIFT-TAB not exist as a key code?Also, is there a way to make ncurses NOT do any action on backspace key
ncurses is looking at the terminfo description, which says that
it can move the cursor left one space (cub1) with a backspace.– it’s not clear if you are asking about the cursor optimization,
or if there is a problem with getstr, etc.
My application uses a custom made forms routine which was ported from QNX 2
and which originally used the qnx “term_*()” functions. Since these
functions are obsolete I adapted my routines for the ncurses equivalents.
Not a perfect mapping but close enough for most functions. Of course, the
form routines handle backspace, delete, etc. on their own and do not
gracefully accept ncurses’ attempts to do “space-bs-space” since such action
is not always appropriate. I was hoping to switch off this ncurses behaviour
without diving into terminfo just yet. Getstr() etc. works fne and cursor
optimization I don’t worry about just now because I don’t have any way of
checking it (no slow serial port terminals).presses? I have echo switched off and, just as it says in the docs, ncurses
does a backspace-space-backspace sequence which messes up my screen. How do
I stop ncurses from making a mess?
I’d look to see why ncurses was using that particular sequence (I suspect
because it sees that your terminfo has cub1=^H listed). Does the space
not wipe out the character it overwrites?
To see “why”, I’d link my application with the libncurses_g.a debugging
library and add a call
trace(TRACE_CALLS|TRACE_ORDINARY);
before the relevant code - there should be (in the “trace” file generated)
some references to tputs, tparm or mvcur which show how ncurses is optimizing
that fragment.
I have QNX 4.25C and compiler, etc. loaded from the DEC 99 cd-rom suite.
The current version of ncurses is 5.1 (20000708)
There’s an faq at
http://dickey.his.com/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html
Thanks for the faq pointer. I will check it out. BTW, does ncurses 5.1
compile easily for QNX 4? (or maybe I should read the FAQ first >> )
I don’t know: I had some interaction with a couple of people at QNX who
were porting ncurses 4.2 to QNX, but nothing since then. The QNX port
looked mostly simple except that there is some additional code (not in
ncurses 5.*) to handle QNX’s mouse. Since I don’t have a QNX box, I’m
not in a good position to integrate the patch (since it changes a good
deal of the mouse logic, iirc, it would take some debugging on QNX and
Unix to make it mesh properly).

Looks like it’s using something called PPP over Ethernet, which

me. Anybody in Ontario, Canada got this working? Any suggestions,

D-Link DI-701 home gateway. It’s basically a NAT box with DHCP

the new firmware (at a friend’s house who is on Sympatico HSE), but I
lost serial cable that came with it. >PPPoe aside, this gadget is wonderful and I already have 3 PC’s hooked up
to it running Windows NT/95/98, QNX4 and RtP over an @HOME cable

Looks good, but setting a firewall up is what I wanted to do.
Linksys has a similar device (model BEFSR41) for about same price. It
supports PPPoe as well and has four-port 10/100 switch built-in. I use it at
home on @home also with excellent results.
Ditto.
Thanks all,

if I can hack something (from the RFC) before hand. Maybe I
will try to find an opensource PPPoE server test it out.
Didn’t think there was such a server, but what do you know:
application: rp-pppoe 2.0
author: David F. Skoll <dfs@roaringpenguin.com>
license: GPL
category: Console/Networking
urgency: medium
homepage: http://freshmeat.net/redir/homepage/945660195/
download: http://freshmeat.net/redir/download/945660195/
description:
rp-pppoe is a user-mode PPPoE client and server suite. It is fully
RFC-compliant and supports cookies, relay-IDs, and multiple
simultaneous PPPoE discovery phases. It is cleanly coded and fairly
efficient. If you want to experiment with PPPoE clients and need a
PPPoE server, rp-pppoe includes one.
Changes:
Inclusion of a server as well as a client in the package, ports to
NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, more stringent sanity checks, a fix for a
bug in which HostUniq tag did not work if access concentrator sent a
cookie, total code reorganization, and improvements to adsl-* shell
scripts.

I have linux (Redhat 6.2) but I’m a total newbie in it. How would one go

read the lilo documents and look for the “map-drive” option.
the boot loader is still on linux or HD MBR, no need to install on
QNX/ZIP. You basically boot from HD, and then switch over to QNX
on ZIP.

Unfortunately, we don’t want to have a hard drive present in the system -
just the zip drive. It doesn’t appear that LILO wants to do this any better
than qnx’s boot loader. I originally thought that the zip drive would look
just like any other hard drive since it was IDE, but apparently that is not
the case. Thanks for the help, though, I really appreciate it.

Yes, isn’t that sneaky of them. I imagine that Iomega chose
ATAPI as their interface because it is much closer to the
native SCSI that is usually hiding on board a Zip drive.
The only ATAPI devices that I know you can boot off of
directly are CD-ROMS, and then only if the CD-ROM is
setup just right, and the BIOS supports it.

I did some troubleshooting work for a company in Hood River, Oregon
that developed an inexpensive flight management system, intended for
civil aviation. This was funded by the FAA in the US as an
exploration
in inexpensive IFR systems for civilian aircraft.This is probably not very helpful, but the FAA seems to know about
QNX.
Can you give any links? Think it’d be of help to talk to that people.
