Unless I've been installing packages in my sleep *<;-), the
ncurses in 950726 works just fine. I have the full-screen interface
junk turned off by default though, so maybe that's the difference. I
also edited the link line in the Makefile to include -lreadline,
-lncurses, -ltermcap and -lcurses. 2.1.1 builds and runs just fine
like that. There's even a port for it, I believe.
I don't think it will delete extraneous files (real 'mirror' can
do that), but if you're faced with a huge directory hierarchy where
only a smattering of files are updated, ncftp2's "get -R" command
works quite well. I'm handing it off to a friend who maintains the
Linux mirror on ftp.io.org so he can try it out (he can't get it to
build correctly on his Linux machine, neener neener neener!). :)
