Will the bw/color trace screen and profiling still work in the non-ncurses
versions? Are you planning to add a "-no_curses" option to the translator and
binder/shrouder? You might provide a plain text document containing the list of
routines that wont work with the non-ncurses version. Are you going to add error
messages for unsupported routines in the non-curses translator libs and
interpreters? Are you going to use the latest ncurses library, for the curses
versions, in the next release? Perhaps that may fix the known issues?
