What is currently running on the 7300/3b1 is UNIX, it's just not Release 2.

Based on my past experience, here's what happened:

1) Up to, but not including, Release 2, `curses' and the termcap database
   were 2 seperate entities.  libtermcap.a had all the *low-level* functions,
   while libcurses.a had all the higher level functions.  The high level
   functions in libcurses.a depended on the functions in libtermcap.a, so
   to compile a program using curses you have to include
		-lcurses -ltermcap
   IN THAT ORDER when you compile.

2) In Release 2, all (as far as I know) of the functions formerly in
   libtermcap.a were included in libcurses.a, making libtermcap.a
   unneeded.

To summarize:

System V, Release 2:  cc -o battle battle.c -lcurses

System V, Release ?:  cc -o battle battle.c -lcurses -ltermcap
(7300/3b1, whatever
 it is)

Hope this helps.
