Will version 8 HP-UX provide the new curses package as developed by
AT&T?  This new curses provides support for alternate character sets
so that, for example, one could access the line-drawing character
set of the VT100 series terminals.  This would allow one to draw 
pretty boxes (windows) on the screen under control of curses.

Alternatively, does anyone know if the the latest version of 
curses is available through the AT&T Toolchest?

Thanks very much.
