Is it my imagination, or is the version of "curses" distributed 
with Ultrix 4.0 a really crufty old rascal?  I tried installing
some curses dependent software today & found out that most of the
curses support I am used to (arrow key support, etc.) seems to be
missing. Am I missing something or is it really as bad as it
appears at first glance? (If it is, who do I complain to & will
they listen)? Anybody found a good way around the limitations?
