I don't know what the answer is to that question, Bob. I've been looking for
similar techniques of creating window overalys on virtually any terminal and
have been experimenting with Curses. I've tried using NCurses from the TOPS
disks, but it appears to be imcomplete as far the Unix standard Curses. Ed at
Delmar sent me another version of Curses last week but I haven't had time to
monkey around with it yet. As a matter of fact, I hadn't even tarred and
feathered it yet... I guess that should be untarred and defeathered (tar and
compress).

If you find the information on Termcap windows, I'd really like to hear about
it. I'm working on an OSk application now that really needs decent window
overlaying capabilities -- whether it be Termcap or Termcap plus Curses. I have
the front-end working quite well on a PC using PCCurses and hoping to find
and/or fix a decent version of Curses for OSk to really dig into development.
