PDCurses for X11
================

This is a port of PDCurses for X11, aka XCurses.  It is designed to 
allow existing curses programs to be re-compiled with PDCurses, 
resulting in native X11 programs.


Building
--------

. Run "./configure" in the top-level directory.

  To build the wide-character version of the library, specify
  "--enable-widec" as a parameter. To use X Input Methods, add
  "--enable-xim". I recommend these options, but I haven't yet made
  them the defaults, for the sake of backwards compatibility and due to
  their new and relatively untested status.

  If your system is lacking in UTF-8 support, you can force the use of
  UTF-8 instead of the system locale via "--enable-force-utf8". This is
  generally more useful in Windows.

  If configure can't find your X include files or X libraries, you can
  specify the paths with the arguments "--x-includes=inc_path" and/or
  "--x-libraries=lib_path".

  By default, the library and demo programs are built with the optimizer
  switch -O2. You can turn this off, and turn on debugging (-g), by
  adding "--with-debug" to the configure command.

. Run "make". This should build libXCurses and all the demo programs.

. Optionally, run "make install". curses.h and panel.h will be renamed
  when installed (to xcurses.h and xpanel.h), to avoid conflicts with
  any existing curses installations. Unrenamed copies of curses.h and
  panel.h are installed in (by default) /usr/local/include/xcurses.

  libXpanel is just a symlink to libXCurses. Both curses and panel
  functions are in the main library.


Distribution Status
-------------------

As of April 13, 2006, the files in this directory are released to the 
Public Domain, except for ScrollBox*, which are under essentially the 
MIT X License.


To be Done
----------

- have newterm() create a new X window

- provide a command line parsing function to enable X command line
  arguments to be parsed and stripped from the arguments passed back
  to the calling procedure.
