Specifically I want to be able to use bold and underlined : text with curses. Try using ncurses. This is a free (GNU ??) System-V compatible curses library that supports attributes, colors and all the other fine things SysV curses has (well, this seems to be the only advantage System V has over BSD :-)). I used ncurses on quite a lot of systems with success. If you can't find ncurses, drop me a line and I'll look where I can find it (HINT: look for Linux ncurses source, this will compile on other systems, too).
