The Crystal CURSES for Windows screen management library is compatible with UNIX® System V so that you can port applications using screen interfaces between UNIX and Windows. CURSES functions include facilities for window management with attribute, color, and border control, Character Manipulation within a window, string manipulation within a window, timing control, sound control, screen flashing, receive and send characters, cursor position control, text moving control, cut and paste between windows, independent window buffers, and screen control with buffers.
Crystal CURSES for Windows opens up a dialog box within the Windows environment which is used as the screen for your UNIX CURSES based interactions. Support for scroll bars, attributes and fonts within the Windows environment is included. Only one call for setup is required to transport your screen interface software into the Windows environment. This product is ideal for the programmer with UNIX programs that he/she would like to port to the Windows environment without difficulties.
Crystal CURSES for Windows is available in either source or object form for all of the following C development systems: Microsoft 7.0, Microsoft Visual C/C++ 1.0 & 1.5, and Borland C++ 3.1 and Borland C++ 4.0 & 4.5. The library is delivered to you as a DLL so you can interface to the library from Watcom and other C and C++ languages, Turbo Pacsal for Windows, Visual Basic, and many other languages supported in the Windows environment. Crystal CURSES contains a disk with dynamic linked libraries and header files for the development platforms, optional disks with the source code, make files for the example code as well as the source to object make files, an example program that shows you how to use the library, and comprehensive documentation on the library functions.
