Current: See git repository
PDCurses is a public domain curses library for [DOS], [OS/2], [Windows]
console, [X11] and [SDL], implementing most of the functions available in
[X/Open] and System V R4 curses, and supporting a variety of compilers for
these platforms. The X11 and SDL ports let you recompile existing
text-mode curses programs to produce GUI applications.
PDCurses is distributed mainly as source code, but some pre-compiled
libraries may be available.
