Actually, above I was referring to Hybrid Editor XE.  David described
it as a full ISPF environment for Linux.  While it does have a menu
with a few options similar to ISPF it's definitely not a full ISPF
environment.

After installing all the gnome devel libs it wanted I was able to get
it to compile and build both the curses and gui versions.  It's the
curses version I want.  Unfortunately the curses executable is linked
against all the unneeded gnome libs, so I can't remove them without
breaking it.
