Hey mark!

For some strange reason that makes sense.  However it turns out the gnu version 
of termcap I just installed is a old update (2003) and statically linked into 
uEmacs/Pk version 4.0.15 making the final result 4k larger than the shared 
ncurses build.  Given the fact that I require ncurses for a multitude of 
runtimes I am inclined to lean towards the shared library version and not 
bother with termcap.

It is nice to have choices.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
