No, the source code is not available. At this point, I wouldn't send it 
anyway, I think it would be a waste of time. I previously asked if you 
were a curses programmer. No answer. However, by your other responses it 
seems you are not, at least not at any meaningful level. I have no 
reason to expect you to be a curses programmer, curses is even kind of 
obscure these days. I just don't want to be on a wild goose chase.

I forgot to respond to this one from your previous post. I'm sorry, but 
I believe this is another error / false statement on your part. This is 
a tangential issue. But you brought it up, you raised the issue.

I'm sorry, but to my knowledge curses programs do not "use the Win32 API 
under the hood". The metaphor (under the hood) suggests you have deep 
knowledge on the subject. I'm sorry, I see no evidence of that.

I am a curses and C win32 api programmer, for many years, so I know a 
bit about these technologies. I don't see the overlap. Please provide me 
with specifics (not vague statements) of how "curses programs use the 
Win32 API under the hood". I'm willing to be educated, but my guess is 
you simply don't know what you are talking about.

You didn't respond to my previous post, where I pointed out other big 
misunderstandings on your part (eg, curses uses stdin, stdout, and 
stderr). I'm not asking you to respond to that post at this point, I 
don't want you to dig any deeper holes. I don't want the list to be 
disrupted. I just think it's important to get the facts straight.

I like MSYS2. I'm trying to do my part by providing feedback, doing 
experiments, making suggestions. So far, I haven't fallen off a limb. 
However, it seems like I have wasted a fair amount of time responding to 
an inordinate number of incorrect "facts" you have posted.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that you volunteer for MSYS2. Something 
is going right. MSYS2 is a great system.
