Description:
------------
I am working on an application written in PHP that uses the ncurses functions, I would like this application to work on win32 machines also. However, I dont want the users required to have a fullblown cygwin install (this is fiddly at best, and win32 users....). I have seen applications written in C for Unix that make use of cygwin.dll and/or cygwindevo.dll, presumably to get Unix-like functionality on Windows, however I have been unable to make any use of this with PHP.

So really my request could be summarised thus:
Ncurses functioning 'natively' under Win32, without the need for cygwin, preferably implemented using an extension dll as per other PHP extensions in Windows.

Why not simply compile PHP under cygwin too?

That's a very good point, I will look into it.

Well, unfortunatley compiling with Cygwin is a bit beyond me. However I would still like to make this a formal request, admittedly for a feature not many other people would need. But still, there we have.

There are native Windows DLLs available for ncurses 1.0.2.
