Let me rephrase the question. What I am asking is if *terminfo/curses* was
compiled with different compilers? Of course his application program is the
same. However if the terminfo/curses source was compiled with a different
compiler it may not be as well optimized or compact. Excuse me, I assumed
that access to the terminfo/curses source was available.

I definitely agree that the curses side of terminfo/curses is unnecessarily
complex for my needs and therefore I try to use only the terminfo routines
as part of my own generic terminal support package.
