Sorry - that is not true.  Michael Kahl did not use curses to port hack.  
He faked a termcap interface.  The original code is proprietary to THINK. 
I have made a bunch of enhancements as well.  It requires a modified
stdio library which may be why THINK is not releasing it.

There is a curses which is under evaluation by THINK I think :-).
I do not know of the status of the evaluation.

I have NO connection with THINK Technologies except as a satisfied user
of Lightspeed C and Lightspeed Pascal.

This is NOT an official Apple statement.
