Hallo mark!

 ml> i never have understood the difference between curses and ncurses
 ml> other than one starts with the letter 'n'...

The 'n' in ncurses stands for new, where new was back in 1993.  Obviously new 
in this case is relative to BSD curses from back in 1980-1982-ish depending on 
which curses is considered as the base curses that all other curses evolved 
from, including ncurses.

Probably a more traditional micro emacs would link to -ltermcap instead of 
-lcurses except that as we speak I don't have termcap installed.  How about 
you?

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
