We are currently running a Beta SVR3 version here and I added a routine to make the information available to the user on a more general scale. Sorry, you're out of luck.

I would suggest that in the future you say which curses library you are using (4.1BSD, 4.2BSD, SysV, ...). Mike Laman UUCP: {ucbvax,philabs,sdcsla}!sdcsvax!ncr-sd!laman
