curses is not part of the C standard (just a by-product of using it
*rimshot* :-O ).

There is a "curses" library that is available with some C
implementations. Some of those C compilers are delivered with bindings
to this library, while some are not. Ada bindings to curses are
available too. In a pinch, if your compiler (C or Ada) doesn't come with
bindings to an available library, there's nothing stopping you from
writing it yourself. This issue has nothing to do with Ada.

How system-independent do you want it? Not all systems even support
colored text displays.
