We are converting to ncurses under QNX4 with intention of supporting
NTO2 soon. We have been converting code to use Ncurses instead of
termlib functions. The conversion is not a big problem.
However, there are a couple of things we have yet to uncover.
We want to use double line boxes (border). There are only single line
boxes provided. There is a thin reference to the fact that double lines
and thick lines are doable.
The second question along the same lines. We have an instruction to the
operator that says use the up arrow and down arrow keys to make your
selection. We want to display an up arrow graphic (single character)
and down arrow graphic on the screen. There is no character defined for
this in the ACS_MAP table.
How do we define these characters?
Thanks for the insight.

I don’t have the answer but ask on the ncurses bug
e-mail list at > bug-ncurses@gnu.org > and Thomas Dickey (the maintainer of
ncurses) may have some advice. Also the latest version is 5.1 but that is
not
ported to QNX yet. Also I beleive T. Dickey keeps an eye on comp.os.qnx.
