actually, it'll work on SunOS/Solaris/IRIX by setting the $TERMINFO
variable to point to the vendor's files as well (they're binary-compatible,
though some minor differences apply).

the ncurses mailing list has moved to bsdi.com, subscribe by sending
mail to
        ncurses-request_at_mailgate.bsdi.com
        
(I've been doing the maintenance for the past year, and recently cut over to a
new mailing list). The current distributions are 1.9.9g (on
prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu) and 4.0 (ftp.clark.net:/pub/dickey/ncurses).

(I'm not posting to the old list anymore - thanks)
