Subject: ae/ncurses bug localized

Michael and Bill,

I managed to build a version of "ae" that works with the latest ncurses
library. I did it by removing the -DTERMIOS flag from debian.rules when
I built "ae". This localizes the problem to one function that performs
line input for "ae". I will use this to build the boot floppies (I
bumped the "ae" revision to -5). I would greatly appreciate if you guys
would figure out if the problem is in "ae" or ncurses and take the
appropriate action. Bill, if you upload "ae" please make it -6 or higher.

	Many Thanks

	Bruce

As it happens, I recently uploaded a -5 version.

However, I'll be uploading a -6 version shortly which seems to successfully
avoid this problem by calling raw() and noraw() instead of manipulating
the term.c_lflag flag bits.
