Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the UNIX curses library for MS-DOS, preferable Microsoft C v5.1 compatible? Thanks in advance, Herb Lison

I have used pccurses 1.3 in severalprojects and found it to be pretty good. I have had to make a few minor modifications to it as time went by, but it comes with full source, so that isn't that hard to do if the need arises. It can be compiled with either TC or MSC. Fred

Someone else has mentioned the public domain implementation. Aspen Scientific has a CURSES library that's compatible with UNIX(R) System V Release 3. It lists for $159 ($349 with source); there are versions available for Microsoft C (MS-DOS and OS/2), Turbo C, and Lattice C. They have a package called FORMATION that builds on top of CURSES; it "provides viewports, virtual windows, pop-up menus, drop-down menus, horizontal menus, dialog boxes", etc. FORMATION goes for $159 ($399 with source, which also lets you use it under the UNIX operating system). I think someone had some good things to say about Aspen's curses at one point. I've never used it; I'm just reading from the Programmer's Connection catalog. Paul S. R.

PC Curses is a shareware package which supports both Microsoft C and Turbo C. The package is reliable, fast, and provides SysV Curses compatibility. An evaluation package, including libraries for both compilers, documentation, and test programs, is available by sending one pre-formatted 5.25" floppy, along with a pre-stamped, pre-addressed mailer (or $5 if you don't want to bother with all of that) to: Jeff Dean 710 Chimalus Palo Alto, CA 94306 uunet!pyramid!cdp!jeff
