Thank all of you who answered my request for curses packages for the IBM PC/clones. Acknowledgments to at least: ttrdc!kad (Keith Drescher) homxb!krb (Karl Barnhardt) houpi!bear (Jim Allen) drux1!vlv (Vaughn Vernon) watmath!looking!brad (Brad Templeton) for answering my question in several different ways. Some told me that Lattice had a curses package both in binary and (extra charge of course) in source form. Comments on Lattice itself were quite mixed, some praise, some damning. Mr. Vernon told me about a custom PC curses he had written and said they were much smoother than Lattice's (some complained about snow in the Lattice curses screen), and that they were more Unix-compatible than Lattice's. Templeton send me a hundred lines or so of advertisement for the Looking Glass Software version of curses, as well as other Unix-compatibility stuff for the PC. My apologies for the omission to anyone who wrote or posted and who is not listed above. I think I missed one reply or posting but I can't seem to recover the name. -- ------------------------------- Disclaimer: The views contained herein are | dan levy | yvel nad | my own and are not at all those of my em- | an engihacker @ | ployer or the administrator of any computer | at&t computer systems division | upon which I may hack. | skokie, illinois | -------------------------------- Path: ..!{akgua,homxb,ihnp4,ltuxa,mvuxa, vax135}!ttrdc!levy
