"ncurses", if I'm not mistaken, is an almost machine-independent implementation
of curses (you have to fill in the machine-dependent parts).  A library
called "pccurses", made from ncurses, came across the net a year or two ago
(check alt.sources or comp.sources.misc archives).

Something like that.

Keep in mind the 64K bank limits... do a dumpobj (with appropriate options)
on MoriaGS for the bad news.  You'd better have a ton of memory to get it
to link, too...  NuLib comes very close to not making it on a 1.25MB
system, and it's only 7000 lines long.
