[comp.sys.ibm.pc] CURSES package for MSC 4.0

claus@CS.UCLA.EDU (11/29/87)

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I would really like to have
a CURSES package that I can use under MS-DOS with MSC 4.0.
I've written an application in which I'd like to replace all those
ANSI sequences to change color and move the cursor with calls that
will write changes to a memory buffer and refresh the screen when all
changes have been made (similiar to the curses library under XENIX).

I've heard of PCURSES, is this such a package?  Is there a place I can
FTP it from, or would some kind soul mail it to me or provide further
information? Thanks so much.

	I am also extremely interested in this idea. I would be
	forever in someones debt for pointers to a CURSES package
	whether its free or not.

You can get a curses package for MS-DOS by sending $5 to its author:

I too would like a copy.  The copy of PC-CURSES that I have now does not
use cbreak mode correctly at all.

Thanks in advance.
