- AMIGA CURSES PACKAGE V1.20
- ==========================
-
- Author : Simon John Raybould (sie@fulcrum.bt.co.uk)
- Date : 2nd December 1990
-
-
-
- This code is freely distributable as long as all of the files supplied
- are included in the distribution.
-
- I am including the source so that users other than Lattice may benifit
- from this package. Please DO NOT CHANGE THE SOURCE inform me of any bugs you
- want fixing and it shall be done - FAST.
-
- DO NOT DISRTRIBUTE AN ALTERED COPY OF THIS CODE TELL ME IF YOU WANT
- SOMETHING FIXING OR CHANGING IN THE SOURCE AND I WILL DO IT AND
- INCLUDE IT IN FUTURE RELEASES, YOU'LL EVEN GET A MENTION IN THE
- HISTORY FILE AS BEING INVOLVED IN ITS HISTORY!
-
- I ASK FOR NO MONEY THIS STUFF IS TOTALLY FREE GRATIS FOR NOTHING GIVE
- IT TO WHOEVER WANTS IT BUT DONT CHARGE THEM FOR THE SOFTWARE, YOU MAY
- CHARGE FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT IN COPYING, YOU MAY ALSO CHARGE FOR
- ANY MEDIA USED.
-
- This package is mainly aimed at people who wish to port screen based UN*X
- applications to the Amiga. I have written a brief documentation file but I
- assume that such people have access to full curses documentation. I have no
- intention of re-writing the Curses documentation as this would be of little
- or no use to people because documentation is generally available at book
- stores.
-
- I hope this is the package people have been waiting for on the Amiga
- and would like to make this the best PD curses package available. So please
- report bugs to me.
-
- To use this, include curses.h at the top of your code instead of stdio.h
- (curses.h will include stdio.h). Compile as normal and when linking, link in
- the library 'curses.lib'. 'curses.h' should be installed in the same
- directory as 'stdio.h' (INCLUDE:) with lattice V5. 'curses.lib' should be
- in the same directory as 'lc.lib' or 'c.lib' (LIB:) with lattice V5.
-
- This code was compiled under Lattice C V5.05. It should work O.K. with
- all Lattice setups and I hope with Aztec too.
-
- I have not tested with Aztec as I don't have a copy.
-
-
- NOTE
- ====
-
- The curses library should be linked in before all other libraries on
- the link line.

- EXAMPLE
- =======
-
- blink lib:c.o foo.o TO foo LIB lib:curses.lib+lib:lc.lib+lib:amiga.lib

-
- Thanks
- ======
-
- I feel I must thank certain people for their help in the improvement of
- this package from which we all stand to gain. Without their suggestions, the
- development of this package would have been significantly slower, Thanks.
-
- Michael Fischer - For finding many bugs in the first alpha of curses and
- continued bug finding and suggestions. Thanks Mike!
- Phil Kernick - For his excellent suggestions for improvements.
- Kai Vorma - For suggestions, bug reports e.t.c.
-
- Any bugs, suggestions, e.t.c. email to 'sie@fulcrum.bt.co.uk'
