It's not particularly bad code or anything like that, it's just that it was
an evolve-mode prototype -- didn't know Curses at all before digging in (still
don't know it well) and wasn't sure it would even end up working. It also is
still using an older undocumented pre-avid.cgi gateway to the server for its
incoming feed, so until I update that to avid.cgi, I can't release the code.
But maybe it would be a useful example client if cleaned up a bit and released
with the understanding of no little or support being offered to get it up and
running (I just haven't the time to support it).

What I made is pretty low-overhead -- it just uses Perl5 and the Curses.pm
Perl library and runs probably any Linux (although many of the colors are
currently hard-coded for my settings) and typically consumes about 2-4 MB of
RAM while active. Lemme think about what would be involved in making it
releaseable...

Yup - I forgot to mention that I expected no support for it :) In fact, if someone doesn't take up the challenge before me (I couldn't justify it until June, so it's likely they will!), it would make a good way to get a bit more (...)
