Curses and portability question.

[accwork at vax1.mankato.msus.edu]

I am writing a program, which i hope to maintain a high level of portability. 
But i also want to some screen management.  I was planning on using curses.  Is
this a "good" choice ?  Is their something that is more standard ?  I hope to
keep the portability accross a vax, and a pc.  So is their any chance of this ?

thanks for your time.
   brian.
