The display is 16x40 characters (128 x 240 pixels). We can display any one of 256 predefined characters at any pixel location. No color, underlining, shades, etc. The device uses a real-time version of Linux so porting Lynx, ncurses, etc should not be a problem - already runs there in a telnet environment. Whatever approach is taken it would be necessary for us to be able to attach/detach the navigation knob and display because Lynx would only be used in one of several modes of the device. In other modes the display shows real-time stuff and the knobs have dedicated functions.

Assuming that a port can be made do you see any issues > related to using Lynx as is? hmm - how large is the output screen? (I seem to remember some code change needed for smaller than 24x80, in lynx). If you're going to port ncurses, it might make more sense to add your knob's code down at that level (and make it return cursor-key codes, tabs, etc.). It depends on whether the knob would be "always" used in the same context. You said this is embedded - what sort of system support would it be using? ncurses does assume the underlying system has POSIX-style tcsetattr, etc. -- Thomas E.
