I sent him a copy of my ttyset() stuff which conditionally compiles
under 4.x or SysV and gives a simple abstracted call interface to the
common terminal modes. It's also available via anonymous FTP from
BU-CS.BU.EDU.

It's no panacea but for typical applications (like writing games or
full screen editors) it should save a novice a couple of hours.
There's an example program and some doc in there.

It needs to be tested and possibly modified on SVR3, I don't have
access to such a system. It's already been tested on 4.2, 4.3, SVR1,
PC7300 and few releases of SVR2.
