Hmmm.  The ncurses port I've been using seems to be compiled without
one.  Maybe I'll re-port ncurses from the patches that came with the
port I have and include my EMX-appropriate terminfo database that I
wrote for Lynx as the internal database.  Sigh...the work expands to
fill available time.

Yes, it is EMX-based.  When I said EMX curses wouldn't work for
compiling Lynx, I meant that the BSD curses included with EMX wouldn't
do it.  I think a lot of people have had trouble getting the OS/2
ncurses port from its "home" site.  Maybe I'll put it up on my Lynx
page today (http://studentweb.tulane.edu/~jmcbray/lynx/).
