Subject: ANNOUNCE: PDCurses 2.4 for DJGPP
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is to announce that PDCurses 2.4 is now available from the SimTel 
mirrors.

Binaries and Documentation:
    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/pdcur24b.zip

Source code:
    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/pdcur24s.zip

Please read readme.djg before installing.

PDCurses 2.4 is a port of the curses interface for 
multiple platforms (including DJGPP). The curses 
interface is a library of C functions that 
provide a portable way to handle and update the 
screen.

The biggest DJGPP-specific change from the 
previous port was to rename curses.a to 
libpdcurses.a and panel.a to libpanel.a so 
DJGPP's linker can find them (using -lpdcurses 
and -lpanel). And DJGPP's makefile, gccdos.mak, 
was updated to use DJGPP's directory tree 
convention.

Happy downloading,
Mark
