It doesn't seem to realize that ansi.sys doesn't support blinking text:
if ( termattrs() & A_BLINK )
mvwaddstr(win,5, 1, "This terminal supports blinking.");
else
mvwaddstr(win,5, 1, "This terminal does NOT support blinking.");
This (from testcurs.c) is evaluating true, even though it is definately
not on this machine. (I'm not sure, but I remember reading up on
ansi.sys & the behavior may be inconsistant on various machines or
something; this is a P166 running win98 SE with ansi.sys loaded in the
config.sys compiled on VC++ 5)
