+       For about a week now, nothing will build properly with curses on
+ Scott's SPARC, I suspect due to messed up system headers from an ncurses
+ installation, which also messed up the headers for it's native curses
+ library.  I sent Scott a message about this, but perhaps waited too long.

If it'll help the active developers, I've got a 'vanilla' SunOS 4.1.3 box,
and I can provide user accounts there for testing.  Default screen-management
is BSD curses, and I can have slang available.

Note to the  auto-configure folks -- as of early June (file set 2.7.1ac-0.28),
the last time I had the time to try it, configure did _not_ work in this
environment;  configure was actually dieing -- I didn't have the time to run 
down precisely what the troubles were.
