I don't know of one right off hand, but try posting to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp.

If anything like what you want exists, someone there will know.

I believe that the SLang library is supposed to compile for Dos and OS/2
as well as Linux (plus others). However, the versions I have tried
never seem to work quite right under Dos and OS/2. But, perhaps you
might want to check it out and see if it fits the bill.

Sorry, but off-hand I don't know the location.

You might try Zinc (www.zinc.com).  I believe it now supports linux
(as well as other flavors of unix).  It is an application framework
for C++ that will allow you to create an application on any(!)
platform and deploy to other platforms with a native look-n-feel.  For
example, on DOS, you can deploy chacter based, MS windows, or Motif
look/feel.  Check out the web page.  I believe there are discussions
on alt.comp.zinc and alt.comp.c++ as well as others.

Well!  You're in luck!  I'm pretty sure that DJGPP v2 (GCC/G++ port to 
DOS by DJ Delorie) includes Ncurses.  There is probably a newsgroup+faq.

Zinc, does not "OFFICIALLY" support Linux at this time but does
support the other major Unix offshoots.

Yes, there's a djgpp newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp

also try looking at DJ's webpage at http://www.delorie.com/

Hope thats of some help.
