AMIGA CURSES PACKAGE
====================
Author : Simon John Raybould (sie@fulcrum.bt.co.uk)
Date : 10th June 1990
This code is freely distributable as long as all of the files supplied
are included in the distribution.
This package is mainly aimed at people who wish to port screen based UN*X
applications to the Amiga. I have written a brief documentation file but I
assume that such people have access to full curses documentation. I have no
intention of re-writing the Curses documentation as this would be of little
or no use to people because they would still use their own.
I hope this is the package people have been waiting for on the Amiga
and would like to make this the best PD curses package available. So please
report bugs to me. When I am happy with the code I may release the source
into the public domain, I'm not sure yet!!
To use this, include curses.h at the top of your code instead of stdio.h
(curses.h will include stdio.h). Compile as normal and when linking, link in
the library 'curses.lib'. 'curses.h' should be installed in the same
directory as 'stdio.h' (INCLUDE:) with lattice V5. 'curses.lib' should be
in the same directory as 'lc.lib' or 'c.lib' (LIB:) with lattice V5.
This code was compiled under Lattice C V5.05. It should work O.K. with
all Lattice setups and I hope with Aztec too.
I have not tested with Aztec as I don't have a copy.
NOTE
====
The curses library should be linked in before all other libraries on
the link line.
EXAMPLE
=======
blink lib:c.o foo.o TO foo LIB lib:curses.lib+lib:lc.lib+lib:amiga.lib
I have tried to keep this code as bug free as possible but I need *YOU*
to help find those nasty bugs!!!
Any bugs e.t.c. email to 'sie@fulcrum.bt.co.uk'
Cheers,
Simon J Raybould
