[comp.sys.apollo] Curses/vt100 emulator on sr10.1

Hi, I've got the following problem and am wondering if somebody can help
me:
I installed sr10.1 on a dn3000, everything fine, and then discovered that
curses did not work in a pad. We have a program that uses curses and runs
on sr10 on other machines (dn3000s as well) all fine.
Now I checked the vt100 emulator and that works fine, vi (it does not use
curses) is fine, our program instead starts up removing, as normal, the
input bottom pad, and then keeps scrolling instead od doing home, clear
screen etc. I looked around for some standard program using curses and
found /usr/games/canfield, this does exactly the same as our pgm.
I checked time stamps on obvious libs but didn't find anything clearly
wrong.
The other dn3000s where I tested the pgm are different in one way: we
installed sr10.0 and then sr10.1 incremental on them, whether the new one
has got sr10.1 directly. Any idea ?
The same happened some time ago on a dn10000, apparently when going to
sr10.1 as well, our local guy fixed it and now he has left Apollo, so
I'm pretty much stuck.

Please send replies to dore@cernapo.cern.ch as I'll be away for two weeks
Thanks in advance.
