Pick it up from ftp://ftp.gwu.edu/pub/ada/ez2load/adatui.zip.

That distribution contains the source and binaries for

- pdcurses (just included for convenience from the "standard" 
            djgpp distribution)

- GNAT binding to pdcurses

- AdaTUI, a TUI package at the level of the TUI package included with
  pdcurses

- tuidemo, a program similar to the comparable C one in pdcurses.

This is free software, released under the GPL/LGPL.

Will it work with ncurses on Linux? I don't know; we haven't tried it yet.
I think it would be a _great_ idea to give it a try and release the
results. If it doesn't work "out of the box" with ncurses, I don;t
think it will be a big job to fix. Since (according to a Linux World
article about 6 months ago) ncurses is now the "officially supported"
curses in the Unix world, it is definitely worth doing.

Get back to me by e-mail if you have questions; I'm cc-ing the author,
my student Alden Dima, in case he wants to join in.
