I'm looking for a package to implement curses(3x) screen updating under
GPR. I wish to create a window that resembles a regular text terminal
(constat, fixed-width font, x-y character addressable), uses curses
calls to put stuff in it, and update the window after each screen
update.
Writing the application under real curses and using the vt100 program
acheives 80% of what I want, but I also want to get mouse clicks in the
window (with locations expressed as character x-y coordinates instead of
pixel locations). I'd like to have the same names as the real curses
routines so I can develop a prototype under curses using the vt100
program and then convert over to GPR and add the mouse handling.
Is there such a library available, either from Apollo, a third party,
or public domain? Is there a better way to do this? Just mail responses
to me, and if there is any interest from others, I'll post a summary.
