Well, I did not write one, but I did port Pavel Curtis's public domain
posting of terminfo curses to the PC.  There were many bugs in the
posting (the n.b. read 'needs work') and it is not ready for distribution
as a 'PC Curses'.

What I have is a curses that is kludged together such that it worked
without problems with the recent rogue53 clone and with the mille bournes
program that came with the curses code.

If you're interested in this code 'as is', in uuencoded pkarc format,
then I will endeaver to send it to you via return e-mail, or a supplied
path.  No guarantees are made as to the reliability of the package,
it still 'needs work'. :-)
