You are clearly correct and I was composing a correction.  "All" is
clearly a better word.  The discussion was so centered around Win32 and
*nix that I forgot OS X, Win16, some form of embedded X, etc.  As for
curses, my experience indicates that the name says it all.  Seriously,
it would be nice, but is possibly lots more work than moving to the
Windows UI.  LanWatch used to have a character GUI.  The first Windows
version looked very similar...
