Looks like Bruce is worried his "battleship" game won't run
under BSD.  Not to worry, Bruce!  There have been numerous recent
postings in net.sources listing the BSD equivalents for all
these functions, except beep().

What about me?  My "battleship" runs fine, but I've got BOTH BSD
and SYSV curses available.

Even the smallest problem becomes unsolvable if enough meetings
are held to discuss it.
