Per Denis: plaintext messages get more help.  I don't know if my
chopping of your message will be readable since I was chopping
HTML-ishness-osity-ankenstein.  (It's ALIVE!)

Everyone will ask: why are you using 0.60.5?  It's very old, and you
are giving yourself problems to do that.  Can you tell us why a more
recent/maintained version is unsuitable?

Also, your missing symbols look like ncurses symbols.  Please confirm
that you are linking in the ncurses library.  Maybe post a URL to your
full build results.

If you're really desparate to solve this by Wednesday, contact Rob for
consulting :)  I think he's still open, and would probably do absolute
magic for you, and for Datetek, for some cash.
