Might I suggest before you put too much work into porting curses to OS/2
that you wait a couple of more days when PDCurses 2.0 is officially
released. This is the latest version of PCCurses 1.4 written by Bjorn
Larrson. It has been ported to OS/2 2.0 and works well with Microsoft C
and TopSpeed C. Final testing is being done to compile the library with
both gcc 2.1 and emx.

Contact me if you require further details.
