hi Paul,
actually i found the S-Lang library to be also a good alternative to
absolve this task.
i used the callback technique described in the S-Lang programmer's
manual, implementing a non-blocking getkey using SLang_input_pending,
you can see the code i use in FreeJ here:
http://cvs.dyne.org/viewcvs.cgi/freej/src/console.cpp?rev=1.16&root=fre…
generally S-Lang results in being as portable as ncurses, but way
smaller in terms of size and slightly faster in terms of performance,
plus it's implementation in Apple-OSX is native.
ciao
