To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 30 Nov 1996 20:48:24 +1030 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk As a Tk weenie, I find myself wondering; for a small-ish application that may in time grow a lot larger, is the size and (possible) complexity of ncurses justified against the older BSD curse? Will I find the BSD curses difficult to work with? Would other programmers working on the code lampoon me for using it?
