As far as I can recall, they are basically the same. There's a
description of each on wikipedia:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pdcurses


PDcurses is older than Ncurses, but I don't believe PDcurses optimizes
screen updates like Ncurses does. (This matters most for remote
terminals, ala SSH or telnet, so is useful mostly in UNIX.)
