>Description:
The TVision library needs some extra patches. The patch by Max O. uses ntohs(), but streams are stored in littleendian, not bigendian byteorder. ncurses mouse-support was depending upon the gpm-library in an unhealthy way. TVision doesn't need to use signals, it can use the timeout feature in ncurses. And various other cleanups.
>How-To-Repeat:
I needed to use TVision on Linux as well as HP-UX. I tried the FreeBSD version of TVision, but found that some more patches were needed to get the library to work for me. I want to contribute my patches back to FreeBSD, in the spirit of Free Software :-)
