|It looks like the VMS-specific #if in the followign is in the wrong place -
|for USE_SLANG, SLsmg_touch_lines() should be used instead of touchwin().
|The lynx code should never see "touchwin" if slang is used.  But it
|obviously does, in the following:


        One thing for sure : I was wrong in including <curses.h> because
it creates a bunch of new warnings. So, please IGNORE this suggestion.


$ delete [...]*.obj;*
$ delete [...]*.olb;*
$ @build-slang.com


        I still get this ...

$ cc LYCurses

    touchwin(stdscr);
....^
%CC-I-IMPLICITFUNC, In this statement, the identifier "touchwin" is implicitly d
eclared as a function.
at line number 1363 in file LYCURSES.C


        Note that the compilation options
 
/DEFINE=(ACCESS_AUTH,MULTINET,_DECC_V4_SOURCE,__SOCKET_TYPEDEFS,USE_SLANG,__VMS_CURSES)

        would make the branching

#if defined(VMS) && !defined(_BSD44_CURSES)
    ^^ TRUE      && ! FALSE  == TRUE

        so, line 1363 is reached. The correct switches should be

#if defined(VMS) && !defined(_BSD44_CURSES) && !defined(USE_SLANG)

i.e. TRUE        && ! FALSE                 && ! TRUE == FALSE

        and things goes smoothly afterward ...

        In short : I spoke too fast. What was wrong is not a missing include
file but incomplete defined() !defined() pre-processor directives. Mea maxima
culpa ...


        I still maintain the following : colors are enabled only if I 
use -color explicitly regardless of my terminal setting, lynx.cfg settings,
lynx.lss etc ...
