LYNX-DEV HP-UX 10.20 select(2) bug fix

[Jason Hill]

Hi,

I've just upgraded from Lynx 2.7 to Lynx 2.7.1 on HP-UX 10.01.  Whilst
it was compiling, I found the following text in the PROBLEMS file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    There is an apparently broken version of select() in libcurses.a
    of HP/UX 10.10.  It also breaks tn3270, ncftp, emacs, and xemacs.
    Using:
                LIBS="-lc -lcurses -ltermcap \
                      ^^^
    (i.e, adding -lc *before* the -lcurses) in the snake3 and snake3-slang
    targets of the top level Makefile yields a useable image, but with
    inappropriate video attributes on the Lynx displays (reverse video and
    underscores on everything).  Using "-lc -lHcurses" instead fixes the
                                            ^^^^^^^^^
    video attributes but then the arrow keys are messed up. - Donald S.

    NOTE: If HP fixes the problem or you come up with a better workaround,
          notify the address@hidden list.
    Updated NOTE (09-02-96):  A patch reportedly is available from HP to fix
          the select() problem, so that "-lc" is no longer needed, but the
          curses glitch is not yet fixed, and you should still include
          "-lHcurses". 
    Updated NOTE (02-03-97): The problems reportedly are fixed with
          patches PHCO_8086 and PHCO_8947 from HP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This memo is to let you know that PHCO_8086 & PHCO_8947 are very old and are
no longer available.  The following patch is the one to install if running
under HP-UX 10.20: PHCO_11342.
