Well, there is at least a pdcurses binding available, and I believe also
an ncurses (check the PAL). However, I think that however useful, ncurses
has a steep learning curve, if you do not know the curses library. SLANG
(also now available on more than linux) might be another option. In any
case the problem will be Ada-based documentation and some example programs.
