I got hack to at least start a game on a 3b20 running System V,
but I am having a helluva time with it because stuff is not moved
around properly on the screen: it draws the room you start in OK, but
it starts drawing all over the screen (particularly in the left margin)
as soon as you try to move.  If you manage to reach another room,
however, the room is drawn correctly on the screen, and we start all
over again...

The refresh seems to work sometimes and not others, and the screen
appears to clear properly.  The symptoms are pretty uniform on the
terminals I've tried.  Something seems wrong with how
curses/terminfo is used, but I'm not sure what.  Any guesses?

Please mail any responses to ihnp4!attunix!mom
Thanks.
