- 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,
