:)i've done it with SIGWINCH handlers, and then getting the new window

:)it's not worth it.

:)oh, cool. thanks!  i'll update to netbsd 1.6 and see what happens then.
:)
:)i'd suggest something like AC_CHECK_FUNC(resizeterm, ,
:)AC_MSG_ERROR("your curses implementation is too old. please update."))

I was already thinking about something like that. I try to fit it in 
today.

This should be the only one left to do.

:)some time ago, i sent you a quick patch that fixed this . it wasn't
:)perfect, but it worked for me, and might just need some cleaning up. i
:)can send it again if it is of any use.

I looked up your fix and it jives with what I just checked in.
