 ] please do - if that works, I probably should reverse the order of that test

 ] my script - was described as COSE & XSI compliant - though it can't be the

Dates don't mean much.  Notice that libHcurses.sl is a symlink to 
libcurses.1, and libcurses.sl is a symlink to libxcurses.1.

Under Linux this would be analogous to symlinking libcurses.so.1 to 
libHcurses.so, and linking libxcurses.so.1 to libcurses.so.  There is
no .a library in sight for libxcurses.

libcur_colr is larger than any of the others.  Maybe bigger is better.

I edited aclocal.m4 and generated a new configure script.  I have Autoconf
version 2.12 installed, it complains with this.

configure.in:252: warning: AC_HAVE_LIBRARY is obsolete; instead use AC_CHECK_LIB
autoconf: Undefined macros:
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_DIVERT_HELP
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_DIVERT_HELP
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_DIVERT_HELP
***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_DIVERT_HELP

The resulting configure script is not usable.  What version of autoconf 
do I need to make Lynx work?  I'll try getting the latest, or just
modifying the configure script.
