I am developing a Curses-based data entry program which will run on a variety of platforms (PC, NeXT, VAX, Ultrix, SUN). I use Curses to access the screen and keyboard. The NeXT has a rather limited implmenetation of Curses (straight BSD) and in particular does not appear to support the keypad() function of X/Open Curses. This function maps termcap events such as up arrow into integers greater than 255 so that programs can manipulate function key input as single integers rather than strings. Does anyone know of an X/Open implementation of Curses for the NeXT, or of software that provides this mapping? (I checked the source code of ELM, and it has its own curses implementation which is neither BSD nor X/Open.) -- Michael Conlon Department of Statistics University of Florida
