Although not yet 'officially' announced, a beta version of PDCurses 2.0 is
available for anon ftp. This library is an almost complete rewrite of the
original PCCurses 1.4, by Bjorn Larrson. PDCurses is System V based,
supports pads, color etc. The library works on DOS and OS/2. Work is
currently underway to compile with emx and/or gcc/2. PDCurses is public
domain code.

You can ftp the source from:

 accord.dciem.dnd.ca  (192.16.207.25)

 in /pub/curses/pdcurses

If you have any problems or bug fixes, let me know.

Cheers, Mark
