1Welcome to PDCurses!
2====================

4Public Domain Curses, aka PDCurses, is an implementation of X/Open
5curses for multiple platforms. Relative to the 'official',  but
6mostly inactive,  PDCurses project,  this has a variety of
7improvements,  adding a Windows GUI "flavor" of Curses and
8expanding the capabilities of the other flavors (SDL,  X11,
9Win32 console,  OS/2,  and DOS).  Some details and screen shots at
