I suspect he means the program named "ncurses" that appears in the "test" directory of an ncurses build. For example, here's my build tree. $ ls -l test/ncurses* -rwxr-xr-x 1 branden branden 230048 Nov 30 00:23 test/ncurses -rw-r--r-- 1 branden branden 187048 Nov 10 09:11 test/ncurses.c -rw-r--r-- 1 branden branden 3029 Aug 9 2024 test/ncurses_tst.hin Regards, Branden
