Curses is a terminal library that adds ansi cursor movement, I believe ncurses extends it to add colour. It's not a program. it relies on terminfo or termcap to give it the metrics to manipulate the cursor and text in your terminal.

Maybe terminfo is not correct? I don't think that has ever happened to me. There are zillions of terminfo definitions, but only 2 or 3 are used much. Don't know where it is set. Prolly try getting teh gui to work first. > I can't figure out how to run it from the command line - no idea what it > is called. > > Suggestions? > Thanks! > Rob > > -- > Rob Echlin, B.
