Has anyone successfully used Al Stevens' TEXT SEARCH application? If so, have you converted it to plain vanilla microsoft C text output? I don't have Lattice's CURSES and really don't know anything about it. So, I sure would appreciate knowing if someone has made it work. – brad –

Brad, You can back away from the Curses stuff by backing off one month. The project was completed when I decided to use the Lattice library to add some displays. All the indexing and search code is in the months that come before the Curses column. I never compiled with MSC, but I did with Turbo C and Lattice, and tried to stay as vanilla ANSI as possible. The column that discusses Curses tells about a few ANSI mistakes I made by inadvertantly using some Turbo C extensions. Al Stevens
