Try SIMTEL-20.  

The file PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>PCURSES.ARC contains the ncurses/terminfo 
package by Pavel Curtis.  It seems to be an old 1982 "beta-one" version.
There are some minor bugs, but in general it's a fine piece of code.  
I used it as a start for an os/2 curses library.

The file PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>PCCURS13.ARC contains the pccurses package
for ms-dos by Bjorn Larsson.  In the beginning is was a port of ncurses,
but large parts of the code have been rewritten and debugged.  Serial 
terminals are not supported.

Hope this helps

regards
