Hello. I'm currently in the process of porting an old DOS game to linux using fpc and the ocrt module. The game makes extensive use of high ascii characters.
Sometimes, if I do : nwriteAC(nscreen, x, y, color, char1); char2 := byte((nReadScr(x,y,1))[1]); char2 will be different from char1, because free pascal or ncurses is remapping the character before displaying it to the screen. Unfortunately this breaks the program in certain places, as the program frequently relies on data read from the screen in its internal logic. I am wondering if perhaps there is some method of querying for the "original character value" that was last written to some x,y position of a text window using an output procedure (such as write, writeln, or nwriteAC) and not the remapped value that was actually displayed there via ncurses. Thanks. -Alex _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
