I have version of CURSES for PC's which is sort-of-like System V
CURSES. It definitely handles colour in a portable way, which might be
a better way to go if you want proper unix/dos portability.


Mail me if you're interested -- I can supply some example code which
uses CURSES colour stuff if you want to have a look...
