Linux uses ncurses, so you're safe there. The version of curses that
comes with NetBSD 1.6.x and later is good too. Earlier versions lacked
certain features needed by Frotz. I don't know about the other *BSD
-curses. You can download ncurses from ftp://ftp.gnu/org/gnu/ncurses/.

For MacOS users, Frotz with all three of its user interfaces should
compile without any changes to the source code or Makefiles.

find options for older flavors of Unix. Are you using plain old curses
or ncurses. On modern systems, the regular curses library is actually

Once the compile is complete, make sure you have the correct permissions
to write where you want Frotz installed, then type "make install". To
