I was unable to build a debugging version of elvis on our Pyramid, which
is running OSx5.0d as shipped.  The problem was a redefinition of the
endwin function.

Elvis uses it's own version of curses, but expects to be able to use the
low-level terminfo (or termcap) functions.  The Pyramid curses support
does not segregate those two libraries.

Has anyone dumped the elvis curses and linked against the full SysVr3
curses package?  Are the like-named functions interchangable?

Otherwise, I guess I'll have to use ar(1M) to extract my own low-level
library.

Great package though!  I've been using it for a couple of days now instead
of *real* vi, just to get a feel of where it differs.  Not much!
