I'll be uploading the new shared-lib ELF ncurses package(s) within the hour (just as soon as I rebuild the dist files to get rid of a few spurious nohup.out files I left behind...).
I think I've got all bases covered, but I'd certainly not mind having a few especially adventurous souls looking at it before it's moved into public view. In addition to the standard tests, I've compiled ncftp to use it and it seems to behave exactly like the one built with the slightly older static libs. Nevertheless, I suppose that maintainers of ncurses-dependent packages might want to only make revised packages available on an experimental basis for a week or so. Or we could just plunge right in feet-first. :-) Mike. -- "I'm a dinosaur. Somebody's digging my bones."
