[alt.msdos.programmer] PC Curses Question

hlison@bbn.com (Herb Lison) (06/27/90)

I've been trying to port a UNIX application to MS-DOS using a version
of PC Curses that was posted on the net a while ago.  This version
has problems when I do raw mode i/o.  The application seems to hang
up just after I set the PC to raw mode and wait for a single character
input.

My question is this, have other people seen this problem, and if so,
is there a work-around, or perhaps, a newer version of PC-Curses.

Thanks in advance.

What version are you running now?  The latest released to the net was
1.4 which will (please God, oh please let me get there) be replaced by
my updated release 1.5.  (Notice no smileys;-(
