- You do need to set term and termcap, if I recall correctly.

- Mark Hessling maintains PDCurses 2.0 (beta). I used this to port sc to OS/2
- 1.x under MSC. I have only started playing with PDCurses under EMX, but the
- compile went fine. I have not yet tested the demos under EMX/gcc (they work
- fine under MSC). PDCurses is not widely available (I don't think archie
- can find it), but Hessling may permit you to beta-test.
-
- One other note: The port of curses to OS/2 on hobbes has a serious bug in
- the ApiGetMode (or whatever it's called) use. Folks on the net helped me
- with this one. PDCurses is considerably faster than this older curses.
- However, sometimes my windows slow down (why is this, anyway?), and the
- older PDCurses beta seems immune from this slowdown (the slowdown is NOT
- due to PDCurses).
