In refrence to this subject header, The curses routines
included are rather ancient. I can't compile any of
my programs that I have written using curses because
it doesn't support all of the comand set. Nor does it
have all of the #defines in it. Ither I'm loking in
the wrong place or i'm using specialized commands that
are not supported on all machines. I'm currently trying
to port pcomm and am running into difficulty on all
of the #defines that a "standard" curses library should
contain. Such as KEY_LEFT, and the various functions
dealing with attributes such as the function WATTRON();
Anyone know where I can obtain the sources to curses so
I may recompile it with as many compatabilities as I can
shove into it?

hats of to all who have helped develope 386bsd into what
is it today, and what it will become tomorrow... The
best damn PD UnIx available. :)
