	These are variables and macros used by the curses package.
	I have no idea whether 4.3 curses is different than 4.2--
	which is what we run--but if they aren't I would assume
	that you forgot to include <curses.h> in some of the files
	somehow.  Perhaps you have defined the OS in the Makefile
	as something other than BSD?  (I believe that Sys. V does not
	use curses.)  Perhaps some lines got deleted or an entire 
	file got lost?  Also, the ld command string should include 
	something like "-lcurses".  I recommend reading the UNIX
	Programmer's Manual entry on curses, then checking Makefile(s),
	then finding the files which reference these variables and macros
	and looking for suspicious activity.

	Good luck.
