The request was whether there is a curses package for an other compiler
than MEGAMAX. I don't know, but the MEGAMAX one was easy to convert to 
TURBOC; so it won't be difficult to port it to MWC (i think).

The main change is to change the line containing overlay; this is
a MEGAMAX keyword and you probably don't want to know about it (:-)).
Just delete that one.
second, you can change the name of woverlay() back to overlay();
third, but not to essential: in the header file are the macros defined
as 
#define func(arg) { func1(arg); func2(arg); }. 
This can not be casted like:
(void) func( arg );
so i changed the header file to:
#define func(arg) ( func1(arg), func2(arg) )

Good luck, 
Klamer.
