You do need to set term and termcap, if I recall correctly. 

Mark Hessling maintains PDCurses 2.0 (beta). I used this to port sc to OS/2
1.x under MSC. I have only started playing with PDCurses under EMX, but the
compile went fine. I have not yet tested the demos under EMX/gcc (they work
fine under MSC). PDCurses is not widely available (I don't think archie
can find it), but Hessling may permit you to beta-test.

One other note: The port of curses to OS/2 on hobbes has a serious bug in
the ApiGetMode (or whatever it's called) use. Folks on the net helped me
with this one. PDCurses is considerably faster than this older curses. 
However, sometimes my windows slow down (why is this, anyway?), and the
older PDCurses beta seems immune from this slowdown (the slowdown is NOT
due to PDCurses).
