Thanks in advance. > 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. -- Erik Talvola | "The soul I took from you c60c-4au@web.berkeley.edu | was not even missed..." erikt@zen.berkeley.edu (currently down...) | Black Sabbath
