Thank you, this looks pretty relevant. I was using the man pages, but they are less useful to a first time user than as a ref. I am attempting to write a video store management package that compiles and runs on any open source unix that includes bdb and ncurses. I wrote a small program like this as my final C project in college and think it would be great if there were more tools like this since DOS versions seem to be used all over the place. It seems to me a *nix version with a console UI would be far superior to the DOS programs I see everywhere, especially in network environments. If anybody else is interested in a project like this, or simular small business software that can run on super-cheap hardware, let me know and I'll set up RCS or CVS or something...
