[rec.games.programmer] Curses Library

ajordon@gnu.ai.mit.edu ('Doc' Urizen) (05/03/91)

I am looking for a full featured Curses library for large model
programming with Turbo C.  If anyone has seen such a beasty, or can
point me in the direction of a PD copy of the Curses source code, I'd
be highly appreciative...

   PC Curses Version 1.4, which includes source for MSC, Turbo C, and
other machines as well, is available on comp.sources.misc archive
sites.  This means you can get it via anonymous ftp from, for example,
uunet.uu.net in comp.sources.misc/volume10/curses14/part[0-7].

   Version 1.4 seems to have some important fixes over previous
versions.  I just tried loading it into a certain Curses-based
game that before would freeze up on me, and that problem has now
disappeared.

   (Although I was involved in earlier versions of PC Curses, I
wasn't involved in this latest one, so I'll probably answer
questions specific to 1.4 with "I don't know.")

Note theat this should say             .../pccurses14/...

Other then that it is correct.  Thanks Steve, I needed it.

My thanks to everyone who sent me a response to this request.  Found
some source code, and I'll be trying out later tonight.  Once again, thanks.
