Unfortunately, I won't be able to test the newer curses anytime soon... But - I did report some years ago that c3270 doesn't build with the current ncurses because of a name clash. If someone gets a chance, it might be a good idea to test that port with the newer ncurses. - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - > Hi, > > [I'm also CC'ed peter@ since he is the maintainer of ncurses in base] > > As you may know, the current ncurses in the base system is rather old > (it is 4 years old).
