I'm having some problems with the curses library supplied with my system (IBM XENIX 2.0) that are driving me nuts. Is there a public domain source available anywhere? mourning the loss of the the mcf archives... :-( -- Scott Reynolds rutgers!mailrus!clip!clmqt!scott Enterprise Information System scott@clmqt.marquette.Mi.US "Insufficient facts always invite danger." -- Spock

The file PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>PCURSES.ARC contains the ncurses/terminfo package by Pavel Curtis. It seems to be an old 1982 "beta-one" version. There are some minor bugs, but in general it's a fine piece of code. I used it as a start for an os/2 curses library. The file PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>PCCURS13.ARC contains the pccurses package for ms-dos by Bjorn Larsson. In the beginning is was a port of ncurses, but large parts of the code have been rewritten and debugged. Serial terminals are not supported.
