They are #define's in this header. Do you have: > >#include <curses.h> The reason he gets the errors is because they are not defined in 'curses.h'.

On those machines you would include 'cursesX.h'. | Ted Wisniewski INET: ted@oz.plymouth.edu | | Computer Services or | | Plymouth State College tedw@psc.plymouth.edu | | Plymouth NH, 03264 |
