hi Michael,
sean's page mentions that he has no plans incorporating forms. That is
sad since it is the main reason i'd use ncurses. do you plan to
incorporate forms?

best regards -botp

I already have everything working with Window and Panel and Pad for over
a year using ncurses. If you are using ncurses too then i would still be
tied down. I was thinking of completely moving to ffi if ncurses is
going to keep giving install problems.

What about speed. Is the performance the same ?

ncurses forms are fine for simple forms. But if you have a complex form
then there are too many limitations. One spends too much time working
around the limitations of ncurses. I spent months trying to get things
done using ncurses forms and fields before finally writing my own
version in ruby.

Anyway, if its simple you can give ncurses form it a try.

hi kumar, do you plan to release to public your own ncurses ruby forms?

I meant, first give the forms and fields that is *already available*
with ncurses a try. If you find it useful then good. If you find
yourself struggling then you can give rbcurse a try.
