Hi,

some time ago i mentioned on this list i was working on a curses interface, but didn't seem that there was much interest in it. What i didn't mention was that i was also working on a console interface, based on curses that would allow one to create working interfaces on a console (unix/ncurses or win32/pdcurses) using curses functions only.

A simple screenshot of my test program:

I haven't written any documentation on how to use it, basically because i didn't bother doing it yet... but it is in a stable working state, the only funcionality missing are the controls to make things happen. Although the test program for this console interface isn't very attractive (hey, it is a test script) it shouldn't scare you away the first time you look at it.

I was considering creating documentation for this, and pherhaps a homepage (on luaforge) but that won't happen if there is no interest from others.
