   Hey Nicholas!   
      
    NB> Did you mention something recently about the latest ncurses   
    NB> acting up?   
      
   Yes I did but it really isn't ncurses that is acting up.  Rather it is ncurses   
   apps that use libmenu, libform, etc. that have issues with 6.0.  So far it   
   hasn't really been an issue with me personally but I can see how it would be   
   extremely annoying to users that thrive on those sorts of things.  I am sure   
   an upgrade of those apps would resolve the issue(s) but in certain cases I   
   wouldn't hold my breath on that happening.   
      
    NB> seem to be displaying odd and/or different from how they were   
    NB> before I upgraded   
      
   Sounds familiar.  The only fidonet editors I've tried since upgrading ncurses   
   has been golded and msged and noticed they don't appreciate 6.0.  Back when   
   6.0 first came out I tried using both 5.9 and 6.0 and that seems to have   
   satisfied the older apps.  I might do that again or just revert back to 5.9 if   
   push comes to shove which is unlikey.   
      
    NB> I remember you saying something about it in the last month or so   
    NB> but I wasn't 100% sure   
      
   Same here but I don't recall exactly what app was at the heart of the   
   something.  Probably golded.  I didn't try any of the msged menuing templates   
   but I am willing to bet there is a problem there as well.   
      
   Life is good,
