It did compile for me without ncurses, but didn't allow to use bookmarks, so I
fetched ncurses and compiled them, too and rebuilt ncftp.
It works fine except for some history fetching (ie. cursor keys ) or screen
update problems. The cursor keys are fine with vt220 though. Haven't checked in
an xterm yet.
I think I will make it available as a set anyway, so don't waste any more time
with it unless you don't want to wait another week or so.
