Greetings,

I'm trying to incorporate PDCURSES into my C program. I'm using PDCURS22 
with gcc from DJGPP 2. The program runs OK in a PC window on my NT PC,
but (always) fails on the target, which is a PC104 without math co-proc,
running DR-DOS. Other (non-CURSES) DJGPP compiled programs are
executing happily there.

The compilation commands are:

LIBS= libsv.a libcurso.a
test_cur:	test_cur.c
	gcc -g -Wall -DNAMES -DDBG_1 -Id:/gnu/djgpp2/contrib/pdcurs22/include -o
		test_cur test_cur.c $(LIBS) -lemu

The traceback always shows that the problem occured in 
	_dj_movedata+33
	wnoutrefresh+319
	wrefresh()+50
	from line 29 in the attached program

Can any kind soul tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Ronen
