The recently posted VC spreadsheet compiled and ran just fine on my
DEC Rainbow running VENIX 2.0 (a V7 port with many Berkeley-isms).

It also compiled and linked OK on my PC/AT running Microport System V,
but when I run it, the screen is garbage.  Cursor positioning and
screen repainting are TOTALLY messed up.  Other curses users, however,
like vi and jove, seem to work OK.

Are there known bugs in System V curses, or does VC need help to run
under System V?  Has anyone else gotten it running under System V?
