Afair just the cygwin dll is needed, and probably the ncurses dll as 
well. You just need to rest to have a decent build environment. Cygwin 
is win9x onwards so non-DOS.

afair PDCurses uses a subset of the curses API that ncurses uses. So if 
someone were to develop it for PDCurses then it should work on ncurses 
as well for the platforms that support it.

btw I should have said this is thoughts rather than interest ;) (I 
didn't get anything done last time I looked at it so I don't expect to 
this time, though I would also be happy to try it out and test it a 
little).

Just a thought, if you are there Lynn, would you be interested in 
looking at this as an even lower common denominator app?
