[apologies if this is a repeat posting; our outgoing news program has
 been quite hungry recently]

I've recently written a MS-DOS version of the Unix curses library,
as an aid in porting Unix software to the pc.  The implementation
is a relatively complete version of the old (termcap) version of
curses, though it does have some of the capabilities of the newer
(terminfo) version (in particular, it provides access to a full
range of screen attributes, not just "standout" mode).

The implementation is considerably simpler than the Unix version,
since many of the screen optimization issues disappear in the pc
environment.  It is written in and compatible with Microsoft C.  At
the current time, I am distributing only object libraries.  Since the
library has been used to port only one program, I still consider it
to be in a "beta" phase.  There is some documentation, but access to
(or at least, familiarity with) the standard curses documentation is
assumed.

If you are interested in obtaining the pc curses library, please send
mail (via the net or the post office), and we can work out a method
for getting you the software.
