[Dev-C++] pdcurses ?

[Big P. <big...@gm...>]

Hi,

is anybody familiar with pdcurses? or curses at all...
I've decided to go back to character mode and not hessle with win32
and other unnecessary (for me) things.
the dev-cpp port of conio misses the window function, so I've dropped
it too, and came up with pdcurses.
it knows many things, lacks only a few, but... is it really good for
working in a dos box? I don't need much portability and like things
which curses were originally designed for... but need some speed of
complex screen handling (editor/emulator purposes)...
opinions?
I can get along with the dev-cpp conio pack as well, but pdcurses
offers me so much more...
TIA,

tom

ps. I'm already convinced not to go win32, tried but didn't make any
good, that is no question... turbovision is way too complicated for my
projects, partly because never used it, and don't can't spend the time
learning it - at least not now...
