I have recently written a script (on a Solaris 9 machine) which makes use of the alternate character set to draw boxes. In the script I'm using tput enacs - to enable the alternate character set tput smacs - to start the alternate character set tput rmacs - to end the alternate character set
This all works fine in a normal putty window. When running it in screen it nearly works fine - but not quite. The boxes get displayed properly but when I'm in 'alternate character set mode' this seems to apply to the whole window - not just the screen the script is running in. So my screen status bar instead of showing me the server name will show garbage. This isn't too bad as it sorts itself out pretty quickly. But when I've split my screen in two this becomes a bit more problematic as I can be editing some script in one screen when suddenly it turns to garbage because the other screen is doing some alternate character set stuff. This seems to work differently than say 'tput clear' which just applies to the current screen - not the whole window. Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/alternate-character-set-%28tput-enacs%29-problem-tf2894564.html#a8087084 Sent from the Gnu - Screen mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
