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.)

[Freedos-devel] Ncurses 5.7 port for DJGPP

2009-02-15 Thread Blair Campbell
Hi.. Just announcing that I've uploaded ncurses 5.7 compiled with
DJGPP.  I modified the terminfo for DJGPP and added a monochrome
scheme, and compiled in mouse support with my libgpm-emulation
library.  Sources and binaries are available at:
