- I've just uploaded ncurses.lzh to sunsite.unc.edu:pub/Linux/Incoming.
- This a BETA version of Curtis Pavel's ncurses. It is a SYSV-compatible curses
- with support for SYSV semantics, keypad, and terminfo. I've also added support
- for color although that is still ALPHA.
-
- PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WILLING TO TINKER WITH IT AND ACT AS BETA
- TESTERS. No flames if it doesn't work as expected. Complaints (please be
- specific) and comments are welcome.
-
- It does work, but you have to understand how curses work quite well before
- you can use it effectively (with multiple overlapped windows).
-
- I have include a program gdc.c (Great Digital Clock) that illustrates the
- use of color. Also included is an implementation of Reversi (not very pretty)
- but useful if learning how curss works.
-
- There are lots of docs. They are not uptodate but will be as soon as the bugs
- are ironed out.
