I am trying to port some code from a UNIX system to a system running MS-DOS 3.4 and MSC 5.1 only to discover that some of it uses the UNIX curses library. Does anyone know if a functionally equivalent package (not MSWindos please) exists for MS-DOS? I would appreciate hearing about one if it exists. Thanks in advance.

I have had good luck with the Aspen Scientific package. It's $119 for linkable object, $289 for source. I have found good compatibility with System V curses, I'm ignorant of BSD. It's fairly compatible with Xenix. Aspen Scientific P.O.

It consists of the PCCURSES.ARC file on SIMTEL20.ARPA (which was also posted to comp.sources.misc I believe), and the patches posted recently to comp.sources.misc. I have written an application which uses only a few curses routines, but the code ran unmodified on both Microsoft C 5.1 and on a Sun 3/50. I could send you an ARC of the source, or the compiled libraries (all 4 memory models), if you want, or if you can ftp SIMTEL20, you can get it there. (Or maybe check out an archiving place for comp. sources.misc.) Good luck. -- Erik Talvola | "The soul I took from you c60c-4au@web.berkeley.edu | was not even missed..." erikt@zen.berkeley.edu (currently down...) | Black Sabbath
