I’ve never used curses, so I’m not sure what advantages it has overs Windows’ own console functions. Have you seen win32\_console (on the RAA)?

Oooh, thanks for that! I may just write some kind of bridge layer so all these curses apps can work nicely. ---

Diakonos cannot function under Windows for this very reason. Please keep me informed of your progress, if any. 🙂 Pistos ---

Dunno if you want to bother with it, but just to let you know, I made a [windows svn branch](http://rome.purepistos.net/issues/diakonos/browser/branches/windows) last year which can actually run under Windows, but most of the special keys (arrows, F1-F12, etc.) don’t work, which makes the editor quite crippled. The main reason I found is because the curses function “keypad” is not implemented on Windows. If that were somehow implemented, it might be doable. Pistos ---

It would work a bit like SSH or possibly use grpahics in SDL so it’s portable. Anyway, it’s all in the air right now considering how many projects I am busy with! Les
