   Is there a curses library for v2?  Or conversly, is there the ability to 
   handle alarms and such in v1.12?  I have a UNIX program I want to get 
   going under DOS, but don't want to have to recode the interrupts or the 
   graphics.  An email reply would be much appreciated.

Yup, there are several of 'em, although still for 1.12. (haven't
tested it yet).

My favorite is PDCurses. This is a pretty clean implementation so it 
should compile in V2 without too much hassle (the supported 
platforms include BC++ 3.0, DJGPP 1.12, emx0.9a, IBM C Set/2 and even
MSC 6.0 - so chances are this will work. I'm pretty happy with it.

You can find a precompiled version for the abovementioned platforms at

http://www.gu.edu.au/gwis/the/markh.html#PDCURSES

or get the source and give it a try with v2 from:
