I have a port of curses for the IBM PC which I have been very happy with.
It consists of the PCCURSES.ARC file on SIMTEL20.ARPA (which was also
posted to comp.sources.misc I believe), and the patches posted recently
to comp.sources.misc.  I have written an application which uses only a 
few curses routines, but the code ran unmodified on both Microsoft C 5.1
and on a Sun 3/50.  I could send you an ARC of the source, or the compiled
libraries (all 4 memory models), if you want, or if you can ftp SIMTEL20,
you can get it there.  (Or maybe check out an archiving place for comp.
sources.misc.)  Good luck.
