Check out the stuff from the Simtel Ada Repository. In particular, there is
a set of packages in virterm that does exactly that. Here's the top of the
file curses.pro. You want the file pd2:<ada.virterm>curses.src for the
pragma interface stuff.
You might prefer the one that comes from Verdix. Under VADS 5.41 (and
later), you'll find a complete set of interface routines for this included
with the release in the subdirectory publiclib, files curses_spec.a and
curses_body.a
There's also a complete implementation of a virtual terminal package in Ada
in the same directory on SIMTEL20, although I can't vouch for its utility.
