- First, if you have access to any of the "standard" UNIX versions of curses,
- you have got a better version than this one. About the only thing that
- recommends Pavel Curtis' version of curses is that it is public domain.
- (Of course, that is pretty significant!) The terminfo implementation seems
- to fairly solid, however.
-
-
- For large distributions (such as the Pavel Curtis' terminfo/curses - 11 shar
- format modules plus one more with updates) I try to discourage direct mailing
- especially when the target site is several uucp hops away. That generally
- leaves two alternatives: 1. Send a tape in a self-addressed, stamped mailer.
- I will put the distribution onto tape in tar, 1600 bpi format. If you do
- this, then make sure you include a note describing what you want put onto the
- tape (Public Domain Terminfo/Curses package) 2. I can send you the info for
- our site's "sources" uucp login. This uucp login is limited to transferring
- to and from a single "sources" directory. I am not making this login public
- knowledge, because we cannot support any large level of traffic.
-
- I am willing to entertain other suggestions.

- If you are on the ARPA Internet, you can get it by anonymous FTP
- (login anonymous, password guest) from ut-sally.ARPA from the directory
- ~ftp/pub/curses, where the files named 1 through 11 correspond to the
- pieces posted on mod.sources. There doesn't seem to be a standard ARPA
- Internet repository for mod.sources.
