[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Curses compatable package needed

ccastdf@prism.gatech.EDU (Dave) (01/28/91)

Does anyone know of a curses compatable package for Turbo or Microsoft C?

I need one to continue doing unix development on my pc.

(Please don't tell me to use conio.h)

This is about the 10th time in two weeks this question has come up.
Maybe it should be added to a FAQ?

Anyway, you can find a very good source code package at simtel under

PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>PCCURS14.ARC.1

It is PD (free) and is very useful.  It even includes source in case
you don't like the way some things are handled.  It works with
MSC and TC.

Hope this helps!

It *is* in the FAQ.  Question number 5.2 in the Frequently Asked Questions
file for comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc.  I used to cross-post the FAQ into
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d, but people complained, so I stopped doing it.
