I would like to get any input on whether or not the book "Using C with
Curses, Lex and Yacc" is worth getting to learn about using curses. I am
also interested in anyones comments on the window shell that the book says
you will build as you go thru the book. Has anyone typed this in? Is it
possibly available from an ftp site, for one to try out before one buys?

I have not seen "Using C with Curses, Lex, and Yacc" but here is a good book that explains curses thouroughly: UNIX Curses Explained Berny Goodheart Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-931957-3 About 280 pages It covers curses windows, curses.h, video attributes, pads, terminfo capabilities, and low lever terminfo library, and more. A good reference book covering curses.
