  I don't need the actual AT&T sources. I just need routines that
have the same calling names and paramters as CURSES and TERMCAP
and perform the same functions. I'm sure some people out there have
hacked together a set of such routines for their own use. I just
don't want to re-invent the wheel :-).

  I think the copyright AT&T has is just on the original sources, and not
on the functions these routines perform.
