I did see the Java Curses Library on Sourceforge after Ernst replied -- checked it out briefly ... it is a series of classes interfacing with a C library (libjcurses) which gets built at compile time along with the docs and JAR, and depends on libcurses like you mentioned. The javadocs and method names are a little tough for me to follow, but that said, I'm only alive because of copious amts of coffee at the moment. It seems reasonably complete, but I still don't know most of what I'm looking at. The developer (Alexei Chmelev) seems very cool, but English clearly is not his native tongue. It compiles fine on FreeBSD; but I haven't tested it yet. [ http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacurses/ ] I would _definitely_ prefer a 100% Java solution, though. Absolutely. Consider me interested. Having that jcurses c library defeats the 'write-once and read-anywhere' goal... But anything is better than java.io.Reader. :) Cheers, -- Dylan Carlson [absinthe@pobox.com] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
