/*
 *	This little program demonstrates what I believe to be a bug
 *	in the SCO 2.3 development package curses library.  During
 *	installation, the "terminfo curses" option was selected.
 *	The line that should be plain text comes out underlined.
 *
 *	Note that 2.3.1 was shipped with the 2.2 development system
 *	so you must have upgraded to the 2.3 development system
 *	to get this bug.
 *
 *	Compile as "cc -o cursesbug cursesbug.c -lcurses"
 *
 *	Note, the order of screen painting appears to be a significant
 *	factor.  If the lines are reordered such that painting occurs
 *	from top to bottom with no reverse motion, the bug goes away.
