I was thinking about using Turbo Vision (Linux port by SET) but that's distributed under the GNU GPL (the "if you use this in your program, you have to give away your source code" GPL). I need something that's licensed under the LGPL or a similar license (i.e. same as the GPL, except I can keep my code private). The project I'm working on will be distributed as commercial software ("payware"), so giving away my source code is NOT an option. I was also thinking about Ncurses, but that has the most awful programming interface I've ever seen... Can anyone suggest something? I've been looking at the Curses Development Kit; is there a tutorial somewhere for this package? Even something for Linux or DOS only would be better than nothing. Thanks. -- Phil. philpem AT despammed DOT com <<-- Yes, this address is real... http://www.philpem.dsl.pipex.com/
