Does anyone know of any implementation of the Unix (Berkley or SysV) curses under OS/2? Is there something similar to it with a different name? //Tony

I have used this product to port Unix code to MS-DOS; current version is quite stable, easy port. They use an environment variable to select direct access, ansi.sys, bios screen writes at execution time. No terminfo description files; these are "canned" in the runtime. Comes with a package called FAST in c source that can be used to set up simple forms data bases---the routines are also handy for modification and inclusion in programs---particularly one that edits an input dialog line. Documentation for routines is excellent, but they don't provide a curses tutorial. The Aspen Curses package is also available for VMS---much superior to the DEC version in VMS C. Aspen also makes a window management product called FORMATION, also available in source code, also portable to many platforms with terminfo curses. Lattice also offers a Curses package, a partial implementation of termcap curses. However, it does not have a termcap file or the lower-level curses functions. Available with source. --

WIll the person that forwarded me the availability through third party information of a SYS V terminfo compatible "curses" package on OS/2 about 10 days ago, please resend the information. I seem to have inadvertently deleted the note as I cleaning up my workstation. Thanks, //Tony
