- I tried to compile pcomm 2.0 some months ago. I think the only (big) problem
- was that we have a strange curses implementation (BSD-curses-hack). If you
- compile 'pcomm' without changing the Makefile some curses-funktions will
- be missing. If you change to -DOLD_CURSES it requires sgtty-abilities.
- So our problem is, that we have neither an OLD curses nor a REAL curses.
-
- I have read some while ago, that someone is working on ncurses, which will
- be a better curses than we have now. Who was that ? The problem of porting
- ncurses is (I think) that it is written for sgtty.
