Please disregard my last posting concerning problems with the beep() routine in Curses. What I didn't realize was that beep() is only in the System V version of Curses. Therefore, I had to use /usr/5bin/cc -O main.c -o main -lcurses -ltermcap Thomas.

Also, in the System V environment -lcurses suffices; it includes terminfo-based emulations of the termlib functions.

I think this is backwards. The termcap support library has been -ltermcap since 4.0 BSD was released. Grepping through the `Changes in the VAX system in the Fourth Berkeley Distribution, November, 1980' document reveals the following: .BP termcap Is the new name for the previously misnamed \fBtermlib\fR library.
