I have noticed something very annoying about curses on SunOS 4.0.  If I
have a terminal set for 8 bits, no parity, and run a program that uses
curses (more(1), for example), the terminal gets reset to 7 bits even.
Bug?  Feature?  Regardless, how do I disable it?  (Eight bits, no parity
is a site standard here and I'd like to keep things that way.)

Reply directly to me and I will summarize if there is enough interest.
