Thank all of you who answered my request for curses packages for the
IBM PC/clones.  Acknowledgments to at least:

ttrdc!kad (Keith Drescher)
homxb!krb (Karl Barnhardt)
houpi!bear (Jim Allen)
drux1!vlv  (Vaughn Vernon)
watmath!looking!brad (Brad Templeton)

for answering my question in several different ways.  Some told me that
Lattice had a curses package both in binary and (extra charge of course)
in source form.  Comments on Lattice itself were quite mixed, some praise,
some damning.  Mr. Vernon told me about a custom PC curses he had written
and said they were much smoother than Lattice's (some complained about snow
in the Lattice curses screen), and that they were more Unix-compatible than
Lattice's.  Templeton send me a hundred lines or so of advertisement for the
Looking Glass Software version of curses, as well as other Unix-compatibility
stuff for the PC.

My apologies for the omission to anyone who wrote or posted and who is not
listed above.  I think I missed one reply or posting but I can't seem to
recover the name.
