This sounds like the infamous Ultrix termio.h problem that has bitten
rn installers before.  If you told "linstall" that your system has TERMIO,
it does a #define TERMIO 1 in defines.h; consequently in screen.c you get
a #include <termio.h>.  You DON'T want that on an Ultrix system.

Just change the TERMIO #define to 0 in defines.h and recompile.
