For those who don't know about it, Aspen Scientific in Colorado has an
excellent terminfo curses package for MS-DOS, OS/2, and VMS.  I have
used it to port Curses programs from Unix to these platforms.  If you
are doing serious work with Curses, I'd take a look at Aspen.  Don't have
their address here, somewhere in Denver area like Ft. Collins as I recall.
