Re: pccurses 1.4?
>Bjorn, will your new pccurses 1.4 for MSDOS be ready soon?
I should clarify what is going on with PCcurses. I have made some
very minor changes. Except for the change of the overlay() function
I recently posted on UseNet, all my changes have only been made to
reduce the amount of compiler warings with TC2.0 and MSC5.1. No
functional changes were made except overlay(). I call my current
version 1.4b.
I have uploaded [the official] version 1.3. I think you should not
expect a 1.4 soon, as I cannot [spare] the time for it anymore. To
give you my own 1.4b version appears [of little use], since there are
very few functional differencies in it from 1.3.

PCcurses, PC Curses, etc... is one of (I believe) 3 window
packages for the PC. The version by Bjorn (Bj|rn) Larsson at the 1.3
level provides NCurses (by Pavel Curtis) for the PC. NCurses was a
complete rewrite of AT&T's Curses package for unix(?).
Pavel Curtis has recently release ncurses into the public
domain. Larsson's PCCurses is already in the public domain.

I cant. Please, someone, tell me Curses is a fairly standardized library of screen management functions for C programs. You can create, delete, move, edit, scroll etc multiple windows (in text mode only). It originates in BSD UNIX. PCcurses provides the same functionality for PC's under DOS. See UNIX manuals etc for more info.
