Well, this also might be possible. You'd just have to separate the PC-specific
fragments (there are not so many of them). I suppose it is possible to use
Curses as the "real" output library while using TV for all the other stuff.
That'd make TV really portable. And I think it's worthwhile as TV is quite a
good piece of software. 
Another solution would be to use the library used by Midnight COmmander (they
used to use NDCurses, but now have switched to some other lib - sorry I forgot
the name) 3.2. MC works on Sun machines and so will TV with the lib (heck!
What was the name - it begins with 'S' ;-))))).
