I've put up some bindings for ncurses on google code.

Main features:  extremely thin binding, nothing extra to link, just import 
and go.

It's only a few files, you can download them directly from the svn browser 
on the project pages.

this is unbefuckinglievable. an occult international plot to make d a cult
language with secret libraries won't get any better than this. you are even
better than the other undiscovered ramanujan over here. he rants and raves
about his algorithms library. yes, it's online. yes, it has docs. yes, they are
in html format. only all inside a fucking zip. a fucking zip you heard me
right. but tar.bz2...... that beats him to the punch. why don't you put
encryption on the archive while you're at it. shit.

Are you serious?  You have a problem downloading archives and opening them? 
And why should tar.bz2 be any more cryptic than zip?  In fact, it is more 
acceptable on unix based systems, which is basically the only place you'd be 
using curses from.  What would you prefer, a self installing msi package?

BTW, the archive is 19KB.  It was downloaded before I released the mouse 
button.

i know i shouldn't even bother but....

googling "ncurses d" gives a whole thread about his curses binding on 
the first hit, it's hardly secret. and since it's a *nix centric 
library, and tarballs are far more common on *nix systems than zips, 
tar.bz2 makes a lot more sense than a zip file.

yeah, i saw that before i started writing my own.  I actually think 
yours is probably more complete than mine for the core curses library, 
while mine has support for the mouse, menu library and (almost) the form 
library.  also mine doesn't require an extra d-centric library to link 
(which is the main reason i did my own), or extra initialization calls. 
  then again yours has more natural access to those damn acs characters 
because of the extra linkage, and yours actually has some documentation.

Personally, I would very much welcome PDCurses support, because it works 
on Microsoft(R) Windows(TM). Problem is, PDCurses' structures are 
different from ncurses... But, I still think it is doable.
