I recently noticed that DEC included the particulars that mdg needed to run
in Ultrix 4.2(maybe earlier I'm not sure).  So I decided to try and compile
it.  I got undefined errors for 'tigetstr' and 'curs_set' in the main 'mdg'
program.  That was it.  Everything elser compiled fine.  After a bit of
tweeking, and guessing as to possible replacements for the two undefined
functions I got it to compile.  Everything ran fine, except that once it
started up and I got the initial display I couldn't type anything. Hmm...
Anybody have any words of wisdom on the topic?

p.s. I'm running a DECstation 2100 with Ultrix 4.2
