Does anybody out there know of a public domain version of the
CURSES full-screen terminal i/o package? I have been looking for
one for a long time and would appreciate any leads...
Thanks, Vic Sohal

-> Does anybody out there know of a public domain version of the -> CURSES full-screen terminal i/o package? I have been looking for -> one for a long time and would appreciate any leads... This is part answer and part request. There's a package called dpy that does what curses does (though it's not curses compatible), and is freely available, and very fast. I had it once, but I got rid of it when I went over my my disk quota; but now that I have no disk quota, I want it again (well, actually, I just want to use it). I posted a request to the net looking for it a while ago, but no luck. Has anybody got this? Can you send it to me? As far as I can tell it's not in the mod.sources archives. I'd prefer to ftp it if possible. Also, when I got it, it also came with the most amazing full-screen game of life you've ever seen. I'd kinda like that too...

There is a curses library in the mod.sources archives;
contact your nearest archive site, or the moderator of
mod.sources, mirror!sources-request.
The comment in the index entry for the item says 'NEEDS WORK';
it is a couple of years old, too.

In munging with Ultrix, we seem to have found that while ultrix has SYSV compatibility libraries, its Curses is pure Berkeley. - or maybe adulterated Berkeley. At any rate tryingto do ioctls when using the sysV compatibility mode -mungs the whole structure, because curses thinks its talking to a sgtty structure, and we think we're talking to a termio structure. Anyhow this seems to be touted as a feature of Ultrix. Thus we are looking for public domain curses packages. Please reply directly to sun!kass!richard I dont hardly get into news much.

Are there any good tutorials available on using Curses, particularly using the multiple windows to implement pop up windows, pull down menus, cascading menus, scrollable lists, and all the other nifty user interface kinds of things that are the current rage. Source code or tutorial articles would be a great help. For that matter, are there any "toolkits" available that would let me build up a user interface with these kinds of features w/o reinventing a lot of wheels? What I'm thinking of is building a character based user interface somewhat like Tandy's Deskmate or Microsoft Quick C, given a terminal with vt100 like capabilities and a 9600 baud or faster tty line.
