Some of the programs i need to run requires vt100 emulation. How should I set Terminal so that vt100 is active?

I am trying to compile and run ncurse5.2.

Basic vt100 emulation should be standard in Terminal.app. If you go to Terminal -> Preferences... -> Emulation you can set vt100 keypad and "strict vt100" emulation.

You can fool the program into thinking that your terminal is vt100 by typing 'export TERM=vt100' before running the program. BTW, curses is built in (maybe ncurses, can't tell).
