I've built Predict, the satellite tracking program, for OS2008. It works perfectly, but the ncurses formatting gets screwed up and no matter what font size I choose, it looks awful with certain views.
When I run it via ssh in an 80x24 window it looks fine. I'm pretty sure it would be OK in xterm without the scrollbar taking up space.
There are screen shots of Predict on its home page:

About halfway down, there is one for the Multi-Satellite Tracking Mode. When I run Predict in this mode in xterm on the N800, the last digit of the Range column is right up against the scrollbar, and the D character from the last row gets placed at the left-most edge on the next line. The column headings overflow the line too. Zooming in or out doesn't solve the problem and neither does changing the font size.
Is there any way I can optionally disable the scrollbar? I'm sure I used to able to do that with the Maemo Hackers version of xterm.
Any suggestions welcomed.
