HELP! Using version 2.3.0 and an Paradise Autoswitch EGA card with a multi scan monitor.I compiled JOVE and had a working copy,while trying to compile JOVE 4.9 I began to get rather odd behavior from the old version of JOVE.Things like extra characters random cursor movement,words like -D1232233 in odd places,and extra blank lines at the bottom of the screen.At times I would have random words disappear from a line when using ^F to move the cursor. Decided to use VI until I got JOVE "fixed" but VI did the same thing,and also scrolled the file name and number of lines into the body of the file! What have I done? I looked at stty -a and it seems to be OK,but as I,m new to UNIX and V/AT in general I,m not sure what could be wrong.All command line output seems to be OK.Only editor screen output is odd. Also JOVE did work OK until I tried to compile the new JOVE. Any pointers at what to look for? Any ideas as to WHAT HAVE I DONE? Should I reinstall the system? GAD! I WOULD TAKE ANY ADVICE YOU CAN SPARE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. DAN@andrew.cmu.edu

I had those problems with Jove and V/AT 2.3. When I upgraded to 2.4 the word problem disappered (as did the random characters), but when I delete a line another (random? I'm not sure) line disappears from the screen. It's still in the file (if I do ESC-CTL_L it reappears). I suspect either the ANSI terminfo file for the console is screwed-up or (more likely) there are bugs inside the console driver itself with respect to ANSI sequence handling. I made a "dumb" ANSI terminfo (based on the Berkeley termcap entry for ANSI terminals with "pessimistic" assumptions) that seemed to work okay. BTW, I'm using Jove 4.14. -- Thomas V.
