Hi William, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I finally got back around to playing with this again. Here are the answers to your questions:
>gem list --local | grep curse ncurses (0.9.1) The test script prints: true The ncurses examples all seem to work and display color. I did have to edit them to add require 'rubygems' at the top. I also tried playing with the sup code a bit. If I comment out lines 133-4 in lib/sup/colormap.rb: # Curses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError, # "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})" sup loads, but everything is in black and white and a bit difficult to read. I also tried uncommenting that, then changing Curses to Ncurses so it looks like this: Nurses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError, "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})" sup loads with that as well, and displays some color, but most of the screen is unreadable (I'm guessing it's displaying as white text on white background). Any ideas? I tried changing more things from Curses to Ncurses, but that quickly started generating method undefined errors. Thanks!
