I copied the "battleships" source off net.sources but our
C compiler gagged on the symbol
A_REVERSE
(said it was undefined). We run vanilla 4.2BSD Unix. Did I miss part
of the posting?

I have posted source code for battleships to net.sources.
Thanks to all who responded to my request for rules.
Subject: battleships on AT&T UNIX 5.2
All those who sent me messages re: my battleships game posted to
net.sources noting things like A_REVERSE undefined,
note that I used curses on AT&T UNIX 5.2.
I can't speak for Berkley 4.2 or other curses libraries.
sorry

No, but you don't run a system with the "curses/terminfo" package, written
by Mark Horton as a replacement for "curses" and "termcap", and provided
with System V Release 2. With a little work, that package does run under
4.2BSD (it's an old version of "curses"/"terminfo" and hadn't been tested on
4.2BSD yet); the one thing I remember is that you have to change the SIGTSTP
handler to reset the signal handler for SIGTSTP to SIG_DFL before it sends
itself a SIGTSTP, or you find yourself in an infinite loop of screen
repainting.
Of course, the game was probably written for S5R2, so you may get caught by
the infamous index/strchr change, or the tty driver differences; as a wise
man once said (in the source code of "ex"), "It's so wonderful how we all
speak the same language..."

I have posted a similar fix in net.sources.games as a context diff,
suitable for "patch". The problem is that SVr2 uses Mark Horton's
enhanced curses.

In-Reply-To: your article <353@hounx.UUCP>
I have converted battleship to 4.2BSD. Four #defines solve the
incompatibility problems:
#define wattron(w,a) wstandout(w)
#define wattroff(w,a) wstandend(w)
#define cbreak() crmode()
#define flash() putchar('\007')
I used #defines instead of editing your code since 4.3BSD might support
the 5.2 curses functions and I wanted to highlight the changes.
This took maybe 5 minutes to figure out. I think a lot of people out
there should try to use their grey matter a bit more.
