I'm trying to port several pieces of software written for unix (e.g. rn and
less) and am having trouble with some of the termcap (or curses) routines.
I've only looked at less so far, but it seems the SMG routines are
significantly different from their unix counterparts.  Before I dive in head
first into the muck and mire to port the screen routines, does anyone
have any words of wisdom. (or better yet, actual C code)

Everything else seems to compile OK.  (With the possible exception of some
#include <sys/something.h>
lines.  I guess this is a tribute to the "work" DEC put into making VAX C
"compatible" with the unix environment.

thanks,
