Very Computer

  I'm trying to compile the gnu text browser 'vh' under Ultrix on a Decsystem
5000/200. Everything compiles fine, but the linker reports two undefined
functions: erasechar() and killchar(). As far as I can figure out from the
code, these should be in the curses library, but as Ultrix is well known to
be strange, perhaps they have different names? I really don't have time to
delve into curses right now--if anyone knows what might be wrong, email or
post to comp.unix.programmer. Thanx a million in advance,
doug

Nope, the names are the same.  Use a #include <cursesX.h> and link with
a "-lcursesX", and you should be able to find what you want.  "cursesX"
is the X/Open Curses package.  A "man 3cur intro" will tell you pretty
much what's in this version of curses.
