Ncurses is mostly added from a "so that we have at least something on Unix" perspective. Not so much as crossplatform solution, since the concepts of NCurses are a bit Unix centric. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
