I've ported it to DJGPP 1.x too (a long time ago.)  Today, I sat down
and tried to compile the GNU less 2.9.0 (290) with DJGPP v2 beta3.
After the usual manual configure (copy makefile.in to makefile and
edit out all the @strings@, copy defines.h.in to defines.h and flipped
all the flags), less compiled in v2beta3.

But the linker is complaining about missing the following functions:
  tcgetattr(), tcsetattr(), tgetent(), tgetflag(), tgetnum(), 
  tgetstr(), tgoto(), tputs().
All in the screen.c module.  These terminal functions doesn't seem to
exists anywhere.  (I choose to use <termios.h> because it's the
closest thing I have.)

It doesn't seem to use curses or terminfo. (Although I don't have them
with v2b3 either.)  Any pointers?
