ftp.clark.net is the same as www.clark.net (from my point of view, anyway),
so
        ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses/4.1
        http://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses/4.1

(I think that's the right syntax)
has the patches for ncurses 4.1

The file 'patch-4.1-971122.sh' includes the patches for 971101 through
971112 (I'll clean those out the next time I do maintenance over there,
since everyone who needs them has gotten them).  To patch to 971122,
you need a 4.1 .tar.gz file, and the 'patch-4.1-971122.sh' file.  Unpack
the .tar.gz, cd to the ncurses-4.1 directory and run the 'patch-4.1-971122.sh'
script.  I've bundled (inside the rollup patch) the files that are problems
with different versions of patch in uuencoded .tar.gz file, and the remainder
of the patch in the same way.

(Apply other patches after that - I usually make one per week).

This is what I see on the ftp server right now:

I usually cd into the directory and use the -p1 option of patch; this gets
around some bugs that I've observed in patch from time to time, and lets
me name the directory whatever I choose.
