That worked.

AIX has its tputs in libcurses.  AIX also has a libtermcap that is suppose to be compatible but most systems don't install it and I would try avoid using it.  You might consider moving curses in front of termcap.

Thanks for the help.  I'll try and do the make and see where that lands me.
