Thomas Dickey and I have been discussing an NCurses port to DJGPP for some
time. Things might come around with the new NCurses 5.4 to be released soon.
The problem that we are working on is support for multibyte keys (like arrow
keys), as DJGPP does not provide a poll() function, which NCurses currently
uses. We are working on a possible select() solution ?? In the meantime,
there is an older (and a bit broken :-( NCurses 5.2 library available for
DJGPP hackers on http://members.lycos.co.uk/bdeck/programming.htm .
