Hi,
    I am trying to use Pdcurses lib , I got it at www.delorie.com. But
I am facing few problems.
    Especially the colour routines.Like the example given below, when
I compile /link it , everything goes smoothly.When there is no
output.Basically a blank dos box starts and nothing happens, just
waits for the getch() and exits when I press a key. Where am I wrong,
is there something with this code.Well I tried the colour routines
myself without much success then I got this example on some website,
but still the problem.
    Please look into it.If somebody can provide example/snippets of
programs with the ncurses/pdcurses lib I will be cool.
    Thanx in advance, appretiate it!

Regards 
Pradeepto
