Well, emacs uses ncurses as well:

~>> ldd `which emacs`|grep curses
    libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x048a8000)
    
yet, it can use 88 colors in urxvt just fine, as you can see here
for example:

    http://journal.wjsullivan.net/162004.html

so it doesn't look like an limitation of ncurses to me. Also vim and
quite a few other ncurses apps can use 88 colors just fine.


Cheers,
Alex
