Hello There!
I am looking for a reasonably working screen package for an IBM PC
or compatibles, that can replace the CURSES on UNIX. The purpose
being that I have some interesting software that I am interested
to port from UNIX to a PC, Public Domain of course, and needs curses
to work OK. The PC-curses should be callable from C, and have the
same basic structure as the UNIX ones.
I would also appreciate any pointers to commercially available software
that can do the same trick. I have heard about "Windows for C", but
have not used it. A last resort would be to write them in compiled
basic & link them but I doubt if it is worth it....
What about the termcap/terminfo/termwhatevers? is it feasible to
substitute and convert from curses to them?
Thanks in Advance...
