Has anyone developed a curses library for the Macintosh? I am trying to port some Unix source code that uses curses, but can't seem to find an appropriate library. MPW source is preferred, but LSC would work also. As an alternative, are there any defines that could be used in the place of the curses routines? I am a relative newcomer to C, so this has been causing real problems for me. Thanks, -Rodney ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rodneys@apple.com rodneys@apple.com

The author of the Mac Moria port, Curtis McCauley, has a curses library. It is not a complete curses library, though, it only implements those features used by UNIX Moria, but it should be good enough for most purposes. His code also adds a Mac UI to a UNIX program, without too much fuss apparently. I've asked him to distribute his code, and I believe he will, eventually... If you are interested, you can try sending him mail at: 73230.224@CompuServe.COM A simple, very naive curses library can be easily written in TC (aka LSC) using their standard I/O library and the gotoxy() function. I have a set of routines that do this, written by Richard Miyasawa. The code does not handle refresh correctly, he just always draws directly to the screen. It may be useful, though, if you are desparate for a curses library. Send me mail if you are interested.

I'm sure this has been asked here before. Is there a curses package available for the Mac (using Think C) so that I can port some curses-using programs from unix to Mac? Thanks, Zack
