Curses question

I am trying to write a curses program on systems that run on termcap
(I'm used to terminfo).  I've tried many times to have a '^L'
clear and refresh the screen with the following code with no success :

	clearok (win,TRUE);
	wrefresh (win);

The exact same code works on terminfo.  I've tried this on a 4.1BSD
and a 3.0 USG (I think that's what it's called).

The only way I've been able to force a refresh is :

	clear();
	refresh();
	touchwin (win);
	wrefresh (win);

Is that the only way to do it or am I doing something wrong ?


Another question, how do I deal with ^Z on BSD systems ?
All I get is a segment fault when I try to foreground the curses program.
