If you are on Win, Jerry van Dijk's packge is what you are looking
for:

Under Linux you may look at AdaCurses:
http://www.gnuada.org/linux/rpms/3.13p/glibc2.1/RPMS/i386/AdaCurses-5.2-2.i3
86.rpm
http://www.gnuada.org/linux/rpms/3.13p/glibc2.1/RPMS/i386/AdaCurses-runtime-
5.2-2.i386.rpm
http://www.gnuada.org/linux/rpms/3.13p/glibc2.1/SRPMS/AdaCurses-5.2-2.src.rp
m
or
