Hello,

At sometime in my scrounging I happened apon a curses package for the ATARI.
I don't know if it's for the ST or older.  It appears to be an almost complete
implementation of curses with exception of some of the low level terminal
routines.  It also appears to run in a VT52 mode.

I would port this curses package to MINIX if it was in the public domain or
the copyright granted permission. But!! there's no copyright, no authors 
name, no nothing - with the exception of a notice in curses.h that states
some of the copyright limits.

My question is - would any of you out there in netland have seen or heard
of a curses package that sounds remotely like this?  I need to know more
info before I tackle porting it.  Like, is it PD?

Also, could someone out there send me any info on the VT52 mode that this
package runs in.  There are quite a few non standard escape sequences that
are not part of the VT52 escape sequences.  Could someone send me a list
of escape sequences for the atari in vt52 mode?  Please? It sure would make
my efforts easier.
