The other option for text windowing library is TV 2.01 - aka Turbo
Vision Text windowing library originally from Borland and available
for DJGPP, MSVC, Linux text and Linux X.

The other option is PDCurses - grab it from the developers site as the
one in the V2Tk directory is and old version.

If you want true graphics cross platform library check out Allegro.
