I'm sure there are some patches for the latest PL16 around, but I
cannot find them right now. Those wo did any modifications to the
curses library should send them to the list now, in order to give
`dancer' (What's his realname?) a good starting point.

An alternative would be to have a look at the `new' BSD 4.4 curses or
modify the ncurses in order to use termcap instead of terminfo
(FreeBSD 2.0 has both, but I don't have the source here right now).

Bye,
