Not sure how that happened, nor how long ago. I've put it back
up (with some fixes, described at the following URL... most of the
issues you saw in console Find_Orb are fixed. The 64-bit Windows
version and the source code are also updated.)

Not all improvements are listed (I see that the 'history' is
woefully out of date), and I'd recommend using the current version.

I assume you mean 'changed from ncursesw to ncurses'? (Some
systems assume you'll have an 8-bit version of that library, called
ncurses, plus a Unicode version called ncursesw. Others -- and I
think OS/X may be in this camp -- just have a Unicode version called
ncurses. In any case, if your computer complains that it can't find
ncursesw, edit 'linmake' and remove the w.)
