Good one Kirk! Yes LOL!
I will leave ncurses alone! I spent months trying to get it to work on
the C version. I had it working in Windows then recompiled it for
Linux, and it wouldn't work. It couldn't find the terminal type. I
said some rude words, and finally wrote some code to convert the
excellent Borland C CONIO routines to use the ANSI escape sequences. So
now it works on Linux and Windows using pretty much the same code. It
allows the use of Borland's simple GOTOXY, GetCusor and color routines.
I wonder if these routines would work on Z/OS? Either TSO or the Unix
terminal?
That would be fantastic. It would save programmers SO much time.
I'll post my code for the ANSI codes in a few days, and perhaps someone
could try it?
Many thanks,
Clem

Related: Our port of ncdu to z/OS can be very handy. We include a binary or you can
build from source with "make".

As a long time ISPF user and dialog developer, may I just say that I don't like
applications that run in ISPF but fake their panel displays, so they don't act
like a real ISPF dialog. It is like using an Electron app; it never behaves the
same as the real thing.
I see this mostly in applications that were originally VTAM apps and later
ported to ISPF. CA-7, I'm looking at you.
