First, I wasn't exactly sure which newsgroup this belonged in, hence
the somewhat strange crossposting. Please, no flames for this.
Anyway, I will be initially developing an application for the DOS
environment, but future plans call for porting it to OS/2 and
Unix/Xenix, and I want to have all versions using the same (or at least
similar) screen functions. So, I'm looking for information on Unix
(preferably SysV) curses-like library routines for use under MS-DOS,
specifically MS-C 5.1. Commercial products are preferred (to be able
to get support), but a well designed PD package will do (if sources
are included or available).
Please e-mail your responses, and I'll summarize to the net.

Lattice puts out a nice little package called "Lattice Curses", which is a library supporting curses functions on the PC. I know it works on MSC 4, but I haven't tried it in 5 or later. Curses may not be the way to go, depending on what you are trying to do. It is essentially monochrome, and is not up to par with PC interfaces. Too bad Lattice didn't put in a small hack to do color. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Kurt Geisel, Intelligent Technology Group, Inc. | | Bix: kgeisel | | ARPA: kgeisel%nfsun@uunet.uu.net US Snail: | | UUCP: uunet!nfsun!kgeisel 65 Lambeth Dr. | | Pittsburgh, PA 15241 | | If a rule fires and no one sees it, did it really fire? | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
