    Thanks. I have it already. That is the package I am using. But it does
not support DJGPP as it is, and the author has never compiled it with DJGPP
himself.
    Mr. Dickey and I are, however, in correspondence about what the possible
causes of the afore-mentioned problems could be.

    I am just looking for the fastest road possible to the answer. Maybe
others have already tried this and know more about it. Thomas Dickey did say
that a handful of people have ported it. I am probably the first tying to do
so under Wiindows2000. This introduces a host of new problems.

#1 Why can I get the Terminfo to run, but not the curses?
#2 Is it a Windows2000 driver problem, a software bug, or both?
#3 If I need a command prompt terminal driver, where can I get one for
Windows2000 that will run DJGPP applications (I have also been asking the
Windows2000 guys about that one).

    The connections are getting herder to make, because it draws on
expertise from very diverse backgrounds. It has been, until now, a very
interesting little project.
