I'm thinking of porting "sc" to the Amiga.  sc is a spreadsheet program
which uses curses and termcap (termlib?).  Before I start, does anyone
have any advice on how to deal with the curses and termcap stuff.  One
obvious option is to port a curses and termcap clone to the Amiga,
another is to rip out all the curses stuff and put in something hard
coded for the Amiga.  Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.

I have Analyticalc and I'd rather have something simpler, which doesn't
require an interlaced screen, and is a little faster.  I think sc fits
this description.
