[comp.sys.mac.programmer] CURSES screen package on the Mac?

nicktrou@lynx.cat.syr.edu (Nikos Troullinos) (08/11/90)

   Has anyone ever implemented a "curses" package on the mac? 
   Yes, something that works with an MPW tool or a THINK C glass tty.
   I would like to port with minimum hassle a command-line based system
   written in C that currently runs under SUNOS and DOS.

The console library provided with ThinkC 4.0 should do the job for you.
A few of our engineers here have used it quite successfully to do the
job you described.
