Well there are functions to move the cursor, set colours and output  
text…  
is there anything else needed? If I can get a second I’ll do some  
research on this,  
but a quick google doesn’t show people screaming about curses being  
broken on win32, so I don’t know.

Yes, I _would_ just go to Linux if I could.
