I recently ftp-ed the pcurses package which was distributed in
mod.sources a while ago, and I now have several questions. Did anyone
actually port this stuff to MS-DOS? Looking through the sources, I
notice places where there are #ifdef MSDOS directives, but there are
some things which I cannot believe make it on an msdos system such as
#include-s of sgtty.h. Further the make file seems to be using true
Un*x power (something I haven't seen in too many PC c compilers). So,
I conclude that one of the following is true:
1) Someone had started the port and the version I have is incomplete
2) Someone out there has a much smarter MS-DOS C compiler than I do
3) This is really intended to be cross compiled to ms-dos from some
other OS (I decided it couldn't be Xenix since I am under the
impression (possibly mistaken) that while one can cross compile
executables this way, the same is not true for libraries).
4) This really could be compiled on a DOS system, I'm just missing the
point.

So, I am yelling for help (HELP!). If anyone has more information on
this subject, please send me mail. It's probably not worth posting a
reply, but whatever... Thanks in advance.
