PDCurses

Stable: v3.9
Current: See git repository

PDCurses is a public domain curses library for DOS, OS/2, Windows console, X11 and SDL, implementing most of the functions available in X/Open and System V R4 curses, and supporting a variety of compilers for these platforms. The X11 and SDL ports let you recompile existing text-mode curses programs to produce GUI applications.

PDCurses is distributed mainly as source code, but some pre-compiled libraries may be available.

The latest version can be found at:

https://pdcurses.org/

For changes, see the History file. The main documentation is now in the docs directory.

Mailing lists

There's a low-traffic mailing list for announcements and discussion. To subscribe, email the list server, with the first line of the body of the message containing:

The core package and most ports are in the public domain, but a few files in the demos and X11 directories are subject to copyright under licenses described there.
