Ncurses (new curses) is a freely distributable "clone" of System V Release 4.0 (SVr4) curses. Curses is a pun on the term "cursor optimization". It is a library of functions that manage an application's display on character-cell terminals (e.g., VT100).
GTK is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces, originally designed with the general look and feel of Motif. In reality, it looks much better than Motif. It contains common and complex widgets, such as file selection, and color selection widgets. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Anthracite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 6:25 PM Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] ScreenMan > In 20 words or less, what is ncurses, other than that library we need to > link to to install OpenVistA, and what is gtk? > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of K.S. > Bhaskar > Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 9:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] ScreenMan > > > On Sat, 2004-09-18 at 08:49, Nancy Anthracite wrote: > > I was just thinking, if C code can be integrated in with M code, at least > in > > GTM and I think in Cache, too, then this might be the perfect place for > it. > > On the other hand, maybe that would not be OK because it would not match > > coding standards for the VA?
