System: NetBSD battle.war.com 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (BATTLE) #1: Sun Feb 1 18:02:00 PST 1998 root@battle.war.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/BATTLE amiga

>Description:
	The ncurses man pages are slightly inaccurate, since I don't think
	ncurses actually REPLACES the old netbsd curses.. the include file
	for ncurses is not written over the old curses.h in the regular
	/usr/include as the man pages imply. Instead they are plugged into
	/usr/pkg/include as ncurses.h. I like splat.. I WOULD splat the
	man pages but I haven't quite figured out sed yet. :)
>How-To-Repeat:
	man ncurses -- see #include <curses.h>
	Then, compile a program with libncurses.a from /usr/pkg/lib and
	use getyx(WINDOW  *, int, int) .. printf the results. Next, compile
	with the include file from /usr/pkg/include/ncurses.h
	Recompile the four-line program. Notice how well it runs now!
>Fix:
	sed #include <curses.h> into #include </usr/pkg/include/ncurses.h>
