I got several replies by mail all saying that bcc was trying to push a
floating point number on the stack. It's been so long since I built a
library that I had forgotten that other/doprintf.c and other/printk.c
in the library have declarations of doubles. The curses demo now works
fine using the termcap for virtual consoles.

A new request:
I'm sure I had a version of cpdir that worked for Minix-386 but can't
find it any more. Could someone send me a copy or point me to a server
that has it (no ftp access)? Is there any magic required to get ps to
work?

Thanks for the help.
