I hope so, anyway.

I feel I should point out that very little of that code is mine.  A
fellow named Allen I. Holub published the original in DDJ (for
MS-DOS), and someone named R. Waggoner ported it to OSK.  I just
tweaked things to get it to compile under 6X09, and fixed the more
obvious bugs.

That being said, Holub wrote a *subset* curses.  There's some
functinality that I want that it doesn't have.  Might have to do
something about that. ;-)
