I can only speak for SuSE 5.3, as this is my first upgrade in about
three years. In /usr/lib is directory curses/, containing two entries,
libcurses.a and a symlink libcurses.so pointing to the shared lib.
Similarly, in /usr/lib is directory termcap/, with two similar entries.
This seems like a sensible organization to deal with static vs shared
libraries, but I don't know if it's standard among distributions.
I'd think the File System Standard would address this.
I'm just a user, so I can't speak authoritatively, but I think things
are generally converging, rather than diverging. Hopefully most all
this sort of minor location trouble can and will be overcome with a
few well-chosen symlinks.

Which, I believe, ultimately points to (for those that prefer ftp):
ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/bin
which is just full of goodies.
Thanks for illuminating some of the frustrations of keeping up with
the various changes. In particular, the details of dealing with
things like hardware flow control sound worth my following up on.
Now if I can just figure out where these beeps come from whenever
a script writes to the screen... :)
Cheers, and thanks for the info.
