This is a port of PDCurses 3.9 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================

   - The DJGPP specific implementation of PDC_napms using INT 0x2f
     function 0x1680 and INT 0x28 does not work properly as soon as
     a program like DOSIDLE.EXE is loaded.  Programs using PDC_napms
     seem to hang and it becomes necessary to hit some key to reactivate
     them.  The DJGPP specific implementation now calls delay from libc
     instead.
   - Apart from this change, only the Makefile for DJGPP has been
     modified to install the products according to the stock DJGPP
     installation tree.

   The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE,
   MS-DOS 7.10 with DOSLFN 0.41c and MS-DOS 6.22 with DOSLFN 0.41c.
   There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-
   like OS.  Due to the use of long file names it will not be possible
   to configure and compile without LFN support.  The port has been
   compiled using gcc346, bnu2331b and djdev205 (CVS repository code).

   The diffs file shows the changes.  The library documentation is
   located in /contrib/PDCurses.39 and /share/doc/PDCurses.39.
   To build the libraries and the sample and test programs change into
   the _build directory under the top source directory and start
   djbuild.bat.



   Getting the port.
   =================

   The port consists of the usual two packages that have been produced
   using djdev205 (CVS repository code) and can be downloaded from
   ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2019-12-30):
