Subject: | Screen and Linux box characters |

Hi. I use
screen 4.0.2 on various Linux versions ranging from Redhat 7 up to Redhat
Enterprise 4. However,
it seem that Redhat 8 and onwards has a problem in that it won’t let me
display box characters, something that the application we run relys on to
display the screen layouts correctly. I’ve
managed to narrow the problem down somewhat and it can be reproduced by running
the shell script below (which simply displays a somewhat shoddy box using box
characters and the box on and box off escape sequences). All
this is using a vt100 terminal type and terminal emulator by the way (PowerTerm
in this case). --------------------------noddy
shell script to display a box-------------------------- tput init tput clear echo -e "\016" echo -e "
lrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk" echo -e "
x x" echo -e " x RUBBISH BOX
BUT x" echo -e " x PROVES THE
POINT... x" echo -e "
x x" echo -e "
mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrj" echo -e "\017" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I
run this shell script outside of screen on Redhat Linux 8 or above, I get the
box characters displayed. Within ‘screen –T vt100’ I get
garbage. Running
this on Linux 7 works perfectly. I’m
stuck. Anyone have any fabulous ideas?! Many
thanks Richard
