The reason slcurses.h and slcurses.c exist is that it allowed me to
use a number of curses-based test programs during the development of
the SLsmg routines.  It is not fully compatible with curses and as
such, I do not recommend the use of slcurses.  Stick with the SLsmg
routines.

No, but it is still maintained.
