Hi,
    I'm currently trying to find a reasonably good cross-platform (Linux/gcc
and DOS/djgpp) text (console) mode user interface library for C or C++. I
was thinking about using Turbo Vision (Linux port by SET) but that's
distributed under the GNU GPL (the "if you use this in your program, you
have to give away your source code" GPL). I need something that's licensed
under the LGPL or a similar license (i.e. same as the GPL, except I can keep
my code private). The project I'm working on will be distributed as
commercial software ("payware"), so giving away my source code is NOT an
option.
    I was also thinking about Ncurses, but that has the most awful
programming interface I've ever seen...
    Can anyone suggest something? I've been looking at the Curses
Development Kit; is there a tutorial somewhere for this package?
    Even something for Linux or DOS only would be better than nothing.

Thanks.
