This book discusses the implementation of an editor and windows for character displays using termcap and curses for UNIX(tm) and using BIOS calls and memory-mapped video for an IBM PC. Curses comes out being pretty slow. Regards Chuck

There's a book (actually, it's more like a large pamphlet) on curses called
"Programming with Curses." It's a "Nutshell Handbook(tm)" by O'Reilly &
Associates, Inc., and is pretty good. It's pretty cheap (around $5 or so) too.
