I compile my HP sources on HP-UX 9.07 so that they work on everything from
9.01 through 10.01 (up to 10.20 with the proper curses patches installed).
The Linux boxes here have RedHat Linux installed (a recent version...
kernel 2.0.28?).  The version of ncurses is 1.9.9e.  I also tried with the
latest version of slang (0.99.38?).  None of the above worked, so as Fote
said, I don't really think that the version of Unix matters unless you
refer to BSD or SysV based curses...
