Hi Everyone

I love COBOL. I use GnuCOBOL.

GnuCOBOL has ncurses built in. Various attributes can be defined in it's "screen section". We have a file called screenio.c that controls this. screenio.c does not have support for overline and leftline. Does ncurses have this functionality? I would like to add this to GnuCOBOL.

I can't find any reference to them in Dan Gookin's book which has a large section that covers the API.

Any help would be appreciated-Patrick

Sorry for answering my own post. I just wanted to mention that the question about leftline is not a good one. I doubt that any font will support a vertical line in the same cell, this must be a separate cell to the left that contains a vertical bar. I can implement this.

Overline is also a unicode character that does not take up a space. If it is in ncurses that will be great, please let me know but if not, I should be able to write a function that appends this to each character.

Sorry for the low quality post-Patrick
