&gt; As for PDCurses library itself there is a Makefile in PDCurses distribution<br>

&gt; Visual Studio to test if it works with newer versions, but logically Visual<br>
&gt; Studio should be able to convert Makefile to a newer format.<br>

So you can certainly do the integration without buying anything. If<br>
you get stuck on technical details, there are people here who would<br>
happily give you advice. Windows developers are always welcome!</blockquote><div><br>Finally, I&#39;ve downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2008, but it requires Windows XP to install and I have only Windows2000 at hand. I will try to get MS Visual Studio Express 2005 and see if it works.<br>

</div>If you don&#39;t have the knowledge needed, and can&#39;t spare the time to<br>
learn (which is entirely acceptable) then you are indeed relying on<br>
another Windows developer to pick this up. You may be out of luck<br>
there - nobody has been interested enough to do this before now (it&#39;s<br>
not as if PDCurses is new) so there&#39;s not much reason to expect things<br>
to have changed.<br>
