Hmmm.  What I'm worried about is that my terminfo database file may be wrong,
i.e., I think I have it saying my physical terminal can do per-character
background color attributes when it can't.  Anyway, I can see I've got an
awful lot of homework to do on this curses/terminal/color problem before I
can help with testing code.

Is "ncurses4+patches" equivalent to SVr4 curses?
