System: NetBSD hiro 1.5ZB NetBSD 1.5ZB (HIRO) #0: Wed Mar 13 01:43:46 CET 2002 wiz@hiro:/archive/cvs/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/HIRO i386

>Description:
In ncurses-5.2's ncurses.h, ERR is defined to be -1, and OK 0.
In NetBSD's curses.h, ERR is 0, and OK is 1.
This will probably lead to compatibility problems.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compare the two header files.
>Fix:
Change ERR and OK in curses.h to -1 and 0 respectively, and audit
the curses code on hidden assumptions?
