This version is running fine under fbsd2.1.0 release, no serious
problems yet. I had the same problem under SunOS/Solaris, but Keith
told me it was due to the Sun compiler. Recompiling v_txt.c without
any optimisation fixed the cw problem.

There is one jumping cursor problem when you hit ESC followed by a 'l'
or a 'b', it jumps to the status line.

But note this is ALPHA software, and not one of Keith's public
releases...
