	PCcurses, PC Curses, etc... is one of (I believe) 3 window
packages for the PC.  The version by Bjorn (Bj|rn) Larsson at the 1.3
level provides NCurses (by Pavel Curtis) for the PC.  NCurses was a
complete rewrite of AT&T's Curses package for unix(?).

	Pavel Curtis has recently release ncurses into the public
domain.  Larsson's PCCurses is already in the public domain.
