GPC Pascal programmers:
I have gotten a complete ncurses interface working for GNU Pascal. I have tested it on MaxOSX (using unix prompt), although more testing is needed. This is the UNIX terminal ncurses, no graphics.
The interface file (ncurses.pas), one-page documentation (ncurses.txt) and a few test files (*.pas) are attached as a gzip tar file (16k). Any testing or suggestions are welcome.
After testing, and after I get at least one more library confirmed (menu), I would like to submit this as a candidate to include in the GPC Pascal package.

There are many C libraries that use ncurses. Menu, panel, CDK to name a few.
But all the added C constructs can be done better through Pascal. Instead of working to access these ncurses derivatives, perhaps object pascal and ncurses is enough.
Ncurses provides the screen access. Object Pascal provides the constructs. This is a natural programming language heirarchy.
