note stefan k Hi,<br> first of all I'd like to point out that using "just Curses" ain't too bad because it is very well documented: all docs come as manpages with the distribution. OK, this is the C API but <code>man Curses</code> (which is the perl documentation) tells you how to read them for perl. <p> Then you might be interested in reading the sources of <a href="http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/vshnu/">vshnu</a> which is written in perl and uses Term::Screen for the display. Or take a look at [id://87680|this] and [id://50509|this] thread. <p> I've been into curses in C/C++ in the last weeks and besides the usual C-preprocesser screws and the fact that not all terminals work as well as good ol' xterm it's been easy and fun. <p> <table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><small>Regards...</small></td> <td align="right"><small> <a href="http://www.skamphausen.de">Stefan</a> </small></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <small>you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion</small> </td> </tr> </table> 157443 157443
