[Coco] Virtual Memory in OS-9

[Bob Devries]

Hmm,
Well, I compiled it (curses.lzh) successfully under OS-9/68K on my MM/1. I'm 
guessing it should end up as a library file (curses.l), so to compile 
properly it needs some switches on the cc command line, which I'll need to 
read up on.

At this time it fails in the linker, with an undefined main(), which is 
correct.

So it would seem that the curses.lzh file is not at this time OS-9/6809 
compatible. That's not to say it couldn't be made to work, IMHO.
