Re: [LI] Text editor ...



the way for using the ncurses is through installing the ncurses library at the
time of the configuration.
when you install linux, it asks for the packages you would like to have on your
system. that does the portion with the ncurses library.
and in the case for help on ncurses, select all the help files (man1... man8),
and there you will have your man pages for ncurses. if you wanna check for the
presence of ncurses man pages on your system,
"man -a ncurses_ "
this should show you all the man pages linked to the ncurses thing.
hope that helps you.
i worked on implmenting ftp on linux some 2 years back. back then i used the
ncurses to give it  a gui interface.
the linux version i was using was linux (kernel 2.0 which came on a PC QUEST CD
in sept 97).
