Hi All;

Anyone know where I can get some docs/howto for pdcurses?

Iam trying to learn pdcurses. Iam trying to change the tuidemo.c by
P.J. Kunst  (kunst AT prl DOT philips DOT nl).

I managed to change the menus and currently Iam trying to get an about
box working. It works but, the box has no borders and the colors are
black and white.

Also I would like the text to be centered...

any help will be welcomed, thanks
