Before your final release, please consider waiting for the posting of my repairs and upgrades for PC Curses (Michael Ewan's Turbo C port of Bjorn Larsson's Microsoft C V4 port of Pavel Curtis' public domain "ncurses" package). I have only found one bug - in the _curseskeytst routine - but I am also adding support for the TI Pro computer. The package will then work transparently and correctly with either an IBM PC or the Pro and thus allow me more easily to support my old Pro along with newer mainstream computers. Plus, if others use it, then the Pro gets some extra free support! regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.

Larry --- do you have an anticipated delivery date for this new release of curses? "Dammit, I just can't wait..."

Let me look at my schedule... Damn! I'm having a little trouble find- ing enough evening and weekend time. I might be able to finish it to my satisfaction in one more week. I want at least a week of testing to go with it, maybe more (again, I assume enough free time) as I want it to test well. Looks like we're talking a minimum of two weeks - Murphy'll see that doesn't happen, right?. Perhaps we are talking about as much as three to four weeks. Perhaps you could help me test. For that matter, maybe others could help. Does anyone have some good programs to test it with (test suites, utilities, games, or other neat stuff)? If so please e-mail - this would be an immense help. Remember, this is the Turbo C version, I do not have MicroSoft C at present, so I cannot verify that it works with that as well. For fast release, I need these things quickly. For possible future release: 1) Has anyone else modified or enhanced PC Curses since the 17 Oct 87 release (that's the date on Michael Ewan's README.TOO file in the package - Bjorn Larsson's release date of the MSoft C V4 version appears to be 24 Aug 87)? Perhaps we can produce a coordinated release, please e-mail. 2) Has anyone added EGA/VGA support? 3) Perhaps an MSoft C wizard could step forward to help bring forth a compatible, transportable version. regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.
