I don't know about what Keith Reynolds did, but Kazuhiro Fujieda
seems to have put considerable effort into the scroll patches.

Also, I never witnessed any of the problems reported with the
patches. Perhaps there's also a termcap problem. I did, however,
witness the slowness problems that Kazuhiro was working on.

There are screen attributes and display performance issues still
outstanding. I'd work on this if I knew how. Can the issue be
"revisited"?
