>>I'm looking for ... a curses library ... for the IBM PC.
I found such a beast on a local BBS, source but no docs. I haven't
tried it, but will send you a copy ARC'ed and uuencoded.MHARRIS@G.BBN.COM (09/29/87)
I've been using PC Curses, and so far it's excellent. For info, contact Jeff Dean 710 Chimalus Palo Alto, CA 94306 (415) 852 1225 -- mh

You might be interested in PC Curses, a shareware version of Curses
that I have been distributing and supporting. The current version
supports Microsoft and Turbo C compilers, provides pretty much full
Sys V compatibility, and runs on most PC (and compatible) machines.
If you'd like a copy, and can't find it on your favorite BBS, send
me a 5-1/4 floppy, return mailer, label, and postage (or $5) and
I will send you a copy. The shareware distribution includes small
and large model libraries, documentation, demo programs, etc.

A commercial implementation of Curses for the IBM PC family is available
from
Aspen Scientific
P.O. Box 72
Wheat Ridge, CO 80034-0072
(303) 423-8088
Prices are $119 for object code only; $289 with source code. The package
comes with source for a screen generator called FAST, which allows you
to create data-entry screens interactively.
I have not used this package. It was recommended by Allen Holub in his
August column in Dr. Dobbs. His July column contained source code for
a subset of Curses, which is available in the DDJFORUM data library on
Compuserve. I have the subset up and running after fixing a few bugs.

How about posting your bug fixes. I typed it in but it didn't work and there were (as always) too many things more important than trying to fix it. bill gunshannon UUCP: {philabs}\ US SNAIL: Martin Marietta Data Systems {phri } >!trotter.usma.edu!bill USMA, Bldg 600, Room 26 {sunybcs}/ West Point, NY 10996 RADIO: KB3YV PHONE: WORK (914)446-7747 AX.25: KB3YV @ K3RLI PHONE: HOME (914)565-5256

I have the subset up and running after fixing a few bugs. I vaguely recall seeing the source for BSD4.3 curses posted to comp.sources.unix or some such newsgroup over the summer. If this is the case, wouldn't the real thing be preferable to a subset? -- Scott Schwartz schwartz@gondor.psu.edu

The 4.3BSD curses was *not* published in comp.sources.unix. I would love to do so if someone could get it to me legally (well, legal for those of you without source licenses; BBN has a couple-dozen :-). Note that I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it hasn't been. The old archives have a "known buggy" PD curses, and I believe John Gilmore posted an article saying he has a copyright-free version from Ken Arnold. Interested parties in getting the full BSD curses available can drop me a line for pointers to the legal parties involved... /r$ -- For comp.sources.unix stuff, mail to sources@uunet.uu.net.
