  Purpose - Code that is common to nCrt and oCrt.

-------------------------------<< REVISIONS >>--------------------------------
  Ver  |   Date   | Prog| Description
-------+----------+-----+-----------------------------------------------------
  2.00 | 12/13/99 | kjw | Initial Release.
  2.02 | 12/15/99 | kjw | Removed use of endwin. Replaced with tcget/setattr.
  2.03 | 12/16/99 | kjw | 1) Added shifted f-keys to nReadkey.
                        | 2) Added raw & scrollok to StartCurses.
                        | 3) Added alt'd keyset support.
  2.04 | 01/04/00 | kjw | keypressed changed back to method of using getch
                        | rather than select.
  2.05 | 01/06/00 | kjw | 1) StartCurses now defaults to echo. Readkey sets to
                        | noecho. This allows nCrt to handle echoing in the
                        | default manor, but allows oCrt to control echoing
                        | in the app with nEcho. Note: Read(ln) will always
                        | echo as normal, regardless of any setting by nEcho.
                        | Also set DoRefresh to true.
                        | 2) nDelWindow now checks for stdscr or curscr and
                        | makes sure that ActiveWn is not nil.
                        | 3) Window() now moves to 1,1 and does not do a
                        | clrscr.
  2.06 | 01/11/00 | kjw | 1) Oops! 2.04 change went back to stdscr vs. ActiveWn.
                        | Keypressed works correctly with windows again.
                        | 2) ClrEol works correctly now with color.
  2.07 | 01/31/00 | kjw | 1) Added NCRT_VERSION constants.
                        | 2) Added prev_textattr to detect a change in
                        | TextAttr value so current color gets updated.
                        | 3) See ocrt.pp
  2.08 | 06/09/00 | kjw | See ocrt.pp

  2.08.01 | 06/11/2000 | kjw | See ocrt.pp
  2.09.00 | 06/16/2000 | kjw | See ocrt.pp
  2.10.00 | 06/16/2000 | kjw | See ocrt.pp
  2.11.00 | 06/27/2000 | kjw
          | 1) See ocrt.pp
          | 2) Now uses ncurses for CrtRead so console control characters
          | work correctly (i.e., <ctrl/h>, <backspace>, etc.).
  2.12.00 | 06/29/2000 | kjw | See ocrt.pp
  2.13.00 | 06/30/2000 | kjw
          | Added nStop and nStart procedures.
  2.14.00 | 07/05/2000 | kjw
          | 1) Added nCursor and nEscDelay functions.
          | 2) Added nInit and moved code from ncrt.pp & ocrt.pp to it.
          | 3) KEY_ALTMINUS & KEYALTEQUAL were reversed, but mapping ended
          | up correct.
