Try PDCurses:

 http://www.lightlink.com/hessling/#PDCURSES

It supports DOS, OS/2, Win32 console, and others.

You can sell programs that you compile with the GNU compiler. The library
code that's compiled in is under the LGPL (library GPL), which was
modified to allow such distribution.

For that matter, you can sell GPL'ed programs -- you just have to include
the source, and you can't restrict the buyer from reselling any number of
copies. :-)

As I understand it, the Cygnus Win32 compiler is a special case, because
the compiled programs require a GPL'ed (not LGPL'ed) .DLL to work. :-(
There's an alternate port of the GNU compiler to Win32, based on EMX, that
doesn't have this problem; but it also lacks the POSIX support of Cygnus
(or so I'm told).

... How about some "I Can't Believe It's Not Spoo!" with your flarn?
